Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Alpen Pilatus 200 Hedge Shears are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure the blades are clean and free of any packaging materials.
Compatibility: These shears are designed for general gardening and landscaping tasks. They are compatible with most common garden vegetation, suitable for branches and stems up to 10mm in thickness.
Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Clean After Each Use: Wipe the blades clean with a soft, damp cloth after every use to remove sap, dirt, and moisture.
- Sharpen Regularly: Use a sharpening stone or file specifically designed for blades to maintain the cutting edge. Sharpen when you notice a decrease in cutting performance.
- Lubricate: Apply a light machine oil or lubricant to the pivot point and blades periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Store Properly: Store the shears in a dry place, away from humidity. Consider using blade covers to protect the edges and prevent accidental cuts.
