FAQs

How do I sharpen the blades?

Use a sharpening stone or file to sharpen the blades at the correct angle. Follow the original bevel of the blade. Be careful to avoid removing too much material.

What type of oil should I use for the blades?

Use a light machine oil or a specific blade oil to lubricate the blades and prevent rust.

How often should I sharpen the shears?

Sharpen the shears as needed, typically every few uses or when the cutting performance diminishes.

Can I use these shears on tree branches?

These shears are designed for hedges, bushes, and shrubs. They are not recommended for thick tree branches.

What is the purpose of the blade cover?

What if the tension adjuster doesn't work?
