FAQs
What is the main advantage of the long handles?
The 94 cm long handles allow you to work in a comfortable standing position, which significantly reduces strain on your back and legs compared to hand shears.
Are these shears suitable for thick, tough grass?
Yes, the precision-ground steel blades are designed for powerful cutting and can handle tough grass effectively, especially along edges.
How do I maintain the blades to prevent rust?
After use, clean the blades with a cloth and store them in a dry place. Periodically applying a light oil to the pivot and blades can also help prevent corrosion.
What material are the blades made of?
The blades are made from high-quality steel and feature a powder coating for corrosion resistance and easier cleaning.
What is the warranty period for these grass shears?
The Gardena Long Two-Handed Grass Shears come with an extended 5-year warranty.
Can I use these shears for pruning small branches?
These shears are specifically designed for cutting grass. They are not intended for pruning branches, as this could damage the blades.
Where are these grass shears manufactured?
These shears are made in Germany, reflecting Gardena's commitment to quality manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Blades are sticking or difficult to close.
Ensure the blades are clean and free of debris. Apply a light lubricant to the pivot point. Check for any damage or warping of the blades.
Cutting is not clean or requires excessive force.
The blades may be dull. Try sharpening them with a suitable sharpening tool. Ensure you are cutting grass, not thicker vegetation, as these shears are designed for grass edges.
Handles feel loose or wobbly.
Check the pivot screw or bolt. If it is adjustable, tighten it gently. If the handles themselves are damaged, contact customer support.
Rust spots appearing on blades.
Wipe the blades thoroughly with a clean cloth. Apply a rust remover if necessary, followed by a light coating of oil for protection. Ensure the shears are stored in a dry environment.
