How to Use Professional Garden Bypass Shears

Preparing the Shears

Before using your Professional Garden Bypass Shears, it’s important to make sure they’re in the best possible condition for a clean cut:

1. Inspect the Blades: Check the blades for any visible damage, such as chips or dullness. If the blades are dull, sharpen them before use to ensure effective cutting.
2. Clean the Blades: Wipe the blades with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt, plant matter, or sap that may have accumulated from previous pruning sessions. This ensures a smooth cut every time.
3. Check the Handle: Ensure the handle is sturdy, and the grip is comfortable and free from cracks. If the handle has become loose over time, tighten the screws to maintain proper function.

Using the Shears

1. Correct Grip: Hold the handles with a firm, but comfortable grip. The ergonomic design of the handles allows for greater control, reducing the strain on your hands during extended use.
2. Position the Shears: Align the bypass blades around the branch or stem you wish to cut, ensuring the top blade is positioned to make the cut cleanly.
3. Cutting Technique: Apply firm but controlled pressure to the handles, ensuring the shears make a clean cut through the plant material. Avoid forcing the shears, especially when cutting thick or hard branches—let the bypass mechanism do the work.
4. Prune at the Right Time: For the healthiest results, prune plants during their dormant period, typically in early spring or late fall, to encourage vigorous new growth.

Maintenance Tips for Professional Garden Bypass Shears

Maintaining your Professional Garden Bypass Shears will help extend their lifespan and ensure their optimal performance. Follow these simple maintenance tips to keep them sharp and functional:

Cleaning After Use

• Remove Plant Debris: After each use, clean the blades to remove any sap, dirt, or plant material. This prevents buildup that can impair the shears' cutting ability and increase the risk of spreading diseases between plants.
• Wipe the Blades: Use a dry cloth or damp paper towel to wipe down the blades. For tougher sap or sticky residue, use rubbing alcohol or a special tool cleaner to remove it.
• Clean the Handle: Wipe the handle with a damp cloth to remove dirt, sap, and debris. Keeping the handles clean ensures a secure grip, especially when wet.

Sharpening the Blades

• Regular Sharpening: Sharp blades are crucial for clean, efficient cuts. Regularly sharpen the blades using a sharpening stone, file, or specialized sharpener to keep them performing at their best.
• Check Blade Alignment: After sharpening, ensure the blades are properly aligned. Misaligned blades can cause uneven cuts and increase the wear and tear on the shears.
• Rust Prevention: If the blades begin to rust, clean them with steel wool or a wire brush, followed by a light application of oil to prevent further rusting.

Lubrication

• Lubricate the Pivot Point: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point to ensure smooth movement. This reduces friction and prevents wear on the moving parts.
• Avoid Over-Lubrication: Too much lubricant can attract dirt and debris, so use only a small amount to keep the shears operating smoothly.

Storing the Shears

• Store in a Dry Place: After each use, store your Professional Garden Bypass Shears in a dry, cool place away from moisture to prevent rust and deterioration.
• Use a Protective Cover: If possible, use a blade cover when storing the shears to prevent the blades from dulling or becoming damaged.
• Hang or Store Properly: Store your shears in a tool shed or toolbox to prevent them from being exposed to the elements, ensuring they stay in optimal condition for future use.
