How do I extend the handles?
Locate the locking mechanism on the handles. Release the lock and extend the handles to the desired length, then re-engage the lock.

How do I sharpen the blades?
You can use a sharpening file or whetstone. Follow the angle of the blade for best results. Always wear safety gloves.
What kind of oil should I use to lubricate the blades?
Use a light machine oil or a specific tool lubricant.
How do I clean the blades?
Wipe the blades with a damp cloth after each use to remove any sap or debris. Dry the blades thoroughly.

Warranty information is not available in the product data.
Troubleshooting
Shears are difficult to open and close.
Check for debris or sap build-up between the blades. Clean and lubricate the blades.
Handles won't extend or retract smoothly.
Check the locking mechanism. Ensure it is not obstructed and is functioning correctly. Clean and lubricate the telescopic sections.
Blades are not cutting cleanly.
Sharpen the blades or replace them if they are excessively worn.
