How to Use VerdeMax Wavy Blade Hedge Shears

Using the VerdeMax Wavy Blade Hedge Shears correctly ensures that you get the best results and extend the life of the tool. Follow these simple steps for optimal use:

1. Prepare the Shears

• Before using your shears, inspect the blades for any rust or dirt. Clean the blades if necessary to ensure smooth cutting.
• Make sure the handles are free from obstructions that might impede your grip.
• If needed, lightly oil the blades to prevent rust and improve the cutting performance. Apply a small amount of lubricant and wipe off any excess with a clean cloth.

2. Trim Your Hedges

• Hold the shears with both hands, one on each handle, ensuring a secure grip.
• Position the shears so that the wavy blades can grip and cut the branches cleanly. The wavy design ensures that the blades grip onto the stems without slipping.
• Start trimming from the top and work your way down to maintain an even shape. Use short, controlled cuts to shape the hedge according to your desired appearance.
• For thicker branches, apply firm, even pressure to ensure a clean cut. Avoid forcing the shears through excessively thick or hard wood, as this can damage the blades.

3. Regular Maintenance

• After use, clean the blades by wiping away any plant sap, dirt, or residue. This prevents build-up that could hinder the cutting action.
• Lubricate the hinges and the blades to keep the shears in top working condition. This will help prevent rust and ensure the blades continue to cut effectively.
• Store the shears in a dry, cool place to prevent corrosion. Keep them out of direct sunlight or damp environments that may affect their durability.

Tips for Effective Use and Long-Term Care

1. Use the Right Cutting Technique

• Cutting Angle: Always cut at an angle to ensure a cleaner cut. Avoid cutting straight across branches as this can cause unnecessary damage to the plant and may not allow for optimal growth.
• Cutting Time: Trim hedges and bushes in the early spring or late summer for the best results. Avoid trimming during periods of extreme heat or wet weather, as this can stress the plants.

2. Avoid Over-Trimming

• Avoid cutting too much of the plant at once. Cutting more than one-third of the plant can result in damage or stress to the hedge. Trim small amounts regularly to maintain the plant's shape and health.
• Be mindful of the overall shape you want for your hedge. Trim gradually, checking frequently to ensure that you're keeping a consistent shape.

3. Store Properly for Longevity

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly. A regular cleaning schedule prevents sap and debris build-up, which can cause rust or blunt the blades.
• Sharpening: Over time, the blades may lose their sharpness due to frequent use. Sharpen the blades using a sharpening stone or take them to a professional for a fine edge.
• Protection: When storing, use a protective cover to shield the blades from dirt, dust, or moisture. If possible, store the shears in a shed or garage where they are not exposed to the elements.

Common Problems and Solutions

1. Rusting Blades

• Cause: Exposure to moisture or not properly cleaning the blades after use can lead to rust.
• Solution: Clean and dry the blades after every use, especially after working in damp or wet conditions. Apply a light coat of oil on the blades to protect them from moisture and rust.

2. Dull Blades

• Cause: Over time, blades naturally become dull with frequent use, reducing their cutting efficiency.
• Solution: Regularly sharpen the blades to maintain their sharpness. Use a sharpening stone or take the shears to a professional sharpening service when necessary.

3. Loose Handles or Hinges

• Cause: With extended use, the hinge may loosen, affecting the functionality of the shears.
• Solution: Tighten the bolts or screws on the hinge to ensure that the shears remain in optimal working condition. If the issue persists, you may need to replace the hinge components.
