FAQs

What is the maximum reach of these hedge shears?

The STIGA Telescopic Hedge Shears can reach up to 2.5 meters (approximately 8.2 feet) high.

Are these shears suitable for thick branches?

These are manual shears designed for trimming hedges and foliage. While they offer clean cuts, they are best suited for branches that can be cut with moderate manual pressure. For very thick branches, powered shears might be more appropriate.

How do I maintain the Teflon-coated blade?

Wipe the blade with a damp cloth after each use to remove sap and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically lubricate the blades with a light machine oil.

What is the benefit of the integrated bumper?

The integrated bumper absorbs pressure and vibrations during the cutting action, which helps to reduce strain and fatigue on your arms and hands, making extended use more comfortable.

How do I ensure the telescopic handle is secure?

Extend the handle to your desired length and ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged and tightened. Always double-check the lock before applying pressure during cutting.

What is the blade made of?

The blades are made from high-quality 65Mn alloy steel.

Is a protective cover included?

Yes, a protective cover for the blades is included for safe storage.

Troubleshooting

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Ensure blades are clean and free of sap or debris. Sharpen the blades if they appear dull. Check that the telescopic extension is securely locked and not flexing.

Telescopic handle is difficult to extend or lock

Clean any dirt or debris from the telescopic mechanism. Apply a light lubricant to the sliding parts. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged before extending.

Shears feel heavy or cumbersome during use

Verify that the handle is securely locked at the desired length. Ensure you are maintaining a comfortable posture and utilizing the extra grip for better leverage. If fatigue persists, consider taking breaks.

Bumper seems ineffective or damaged

Check the bumper for any visible damage or wear. Ensure it is correctly positioned. If damaged, contact customer support for potential replacement parts.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The STIGA Telescopic Hedge Shears are ready for use out of the box. Ensure the telescopic handle is extended to the desired length and locked securely using the mechanism before operation.

Compatibility: These shears are designed for manual hedge trimming of garden foliage. They are compatible with most common hedge types, from delicate boxwood to more robust shrubs, up to 2.5 meters in height.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the pivot point and blades with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
  3. Sharpening: If the blades become dull, they can be sharpened using a sharpening stone or file designed for garden tools. Ensure the angle is maintained for optimal cutting performance.
  4. Storage: Always store the shears in a dry place. Use the included protective cover for the blades to prevent damage and ensure safety when not in use.
