39002EDAMZ Adjustable Bypass Pruning Shears

ADJUSTABLE BYPASS PRUNING SHEARS Ideal for pruning branches, flowers and cutting back thin branches. This pruner will make pruning up to two times simpler than traditional tools. The upper blade first penetrates the plant surface smoothly to prevent crushing the plant. When the blade cuts the plant from the bottom, it also ensures a uniformly precise cut.

General Pruning Tips:

For best results always make the cut above 5/16 inch (8mm) from the bud. This allows the wound to heal properly.
When removing unwanted growth ensure you make clean cuts that are angled away from the buds.
Prune parallel to existing branches and leaf nodes to encourage new growth.
When removing the entire stem, cut back to the point where it branched.
Each plant is different, slow growing plants will require only light pruning, fast growing plants will require more frequent pruning to keep them healthy.

Maintenance Tips:

• After each use, we recommend disinfecting the blades using Denatured Ethanol.
• This helps prevent the spread of disease to other plants and shrubs the next time you are pruning.
• Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. We recommend a mild detergent on a damp cloth.
• Always keep your pruners out of the dirt and rain
• Use coarse steel wool to remove rust and any dried-on remains. Then move on to a finer steel wool grit to restore the sheen of the metal.

Lubricating your Shears:

Intermittently throughout the year, lightly coat the blades with olive oil. Olive oil keeps dirt and other materials from harming the pruners without becoming sticky. Don’t forget to lubricate the pivot point to help the blades open and close easier, and the handle spring to help prevent rust.

Blade Sharpening:

We recommend using diamond files to sharpen your blades. You’ll need three levels of coarseness (known as grits): coarse, fine, and extra-fine.

1. Clean with a scouring pad and a little warm, soapy water, scrub off all the sap, dried plant bits, and other gunk, and wipe the blades dry.
2. Hold a coarse file at the same angle as the beveled cutting edge (usually between 10 and 20 degrees). Starting at the inside of the blade and using moderate pressure, draw the file toward the tip in a curved motion that follows the shape of the blade and then run the file over the edge to sharpen. This sharpens the entire blade evenly. For well-maintained pruners, 10 to 20 passes with the diamond sharpener are usually enough; poorly-maintained pruners may need about 40 to 50.
3. Switch to finer grits to further sharpen the beveled edge. Use the fine file first, followed by the extra-fine, using the same number of passes you used with the coarse file.
4. Finish by removing burrs by running the extra-fine file over the back side of the blade a few times. You can also apply a dry or silicone-based lubricant to repel water and reduce the risk of rust and oxidation.
