How to Use

Trimming

Hold the ergonomic soft-grip handles securely and use smooth, controlled movements to trim hedges, shrubs and bushes.

The wishbone handle arrangement is designed to reduce the arm movement required during cutting, making it particularly useful for repetitive trimming work.

Thicker Stems

When you encounter a thicker stem, position it within the notched section of the blade before making a controlled cut. Do not force the shears through material beyond their practical cutting ability.

Blade Adjustment

Use the adjustable tensioning mechanism to maintain an appropriate blade action as required.

After Use

Remove sap, leaves and plant debris from the blades after use. Wipe them clean and dry before storing the shears in a dry location.
