FAQs

How do I sharpen the blades?

Use a sharpening tool designed for garden shears. Follow the tool's instructions, ensuring you maintain the correct angle for the blade.

What kind of maintenance do the shears require?

Regularly clean the blades, sharpen them as needed, and lubricate the pivot point occasionally. Store the shears in a dry place.

Can I use these shears on hedges?

These shears are designed specifically for edging lawns and borders. They are not recommended for use on hedges or thicker growth.

How long are the handles?

The handles are 85cm long.

What material are the blades made of?

The blades are made of carbon steel.

What is the benefit of the non-stick coating?

The non-stick coating reduces friction and makes cutting easier and cleaner.

Are these shears suitable for a large garden?

Yes, but be prepared for a manual effort. For very large areas, consider the time and effort required for manual edging versus a powered alternative.

Troubleshooting

Blades are not cutting cleanly.

Sharpen the blades or clean off any debris or sap that may be causing friction.

Handles feel loose or wobbly.

Check the screws and tighten if necessary. If the handles are damaged, consider replacing the shears.

Difficulty in cutting through tough grass.

Ensure the blades are sharp and try to cut in smaller sections. Avoid trying to cut too much grass at once.
