Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shears are ready for use straight out of the packaging. Ensure the blades are clean and dry before the first use.
Compatibility: Designed for general garden use on hedges, shrubs, and grass edging.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth to remove sap and debris. For tougher residue, use a damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Oiling: Periodically apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the blades and pivot point to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store in a dry place, ideally with blade covers on, to protect the edges and prevent accidental cuts.
- Sharpening: Use a sharpening stone or file to maintain the edge on the carbon seal blades. Ensure you sharpen at the correct angle to preserve the blade's integrity. Consult a blade sharpening guide for specific techniques if needed.
