Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This set requires no assembly. The tools are ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: These tools are designed for general gardening tasks. They are suitable for use on a variety of plants, including bushes, shrubs, small trees, and hedges. Ensure the branch or stem fits within the cutting capacity of the selected tool (20mm for shears) to prevent damage.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For tougher residue, use a mild soap and water solution.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the pivot points with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation.
- Sharpening: Keep the blades sharp using a sharpening stone or file designed for pruning tools. Sharp blades make cleaner cuts and reduce the effort required.
- Storage: Engage the safety lock on the pruning shears when not in use. Store the tools in a dry place to prevent rust, especially on the carbon steel blades.
