Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Amtech Telescopic Garden Shear requires minimal setup. To extend the handles, locate the locking mechanism (typically a twist or slide component near the handle base) and rotate or slide it to unlock. Extend the handles to the desired length and re-engage the lock to secure them. Adjust the blade tension by turning the central nut until the blades meet with appropriate resistance – they should close smoothly without being too stiff or too loose.
Compatibility: These shears are designed for general gardening use, suitable for cutting hedges, bushes, and shrubs. They are not intended for cutting metal, plastic, or extremely hard, dry wood.
Care: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove sap, dirt, and moisture. For best results and to maintain the non-stick coating, apply a light coat of oil to the blades periodically. Store the shears in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. Ensure the handles are locked in a retracted position for storage.
