1/4” TRIMMING SHEAR
Painlessly trim your shrubs and owers with Eden’s ¼” trimming shears.
The blades are made from high-quality hardened carbon steel, which maintains
sharpness longer. . The ergonomic handle design with TPR shock-absorbing
coating ts comfortably in any sized hands, reducing pressure on your wrists,
and will last for years of trimming chores.
The unique retractable clip lock is a convenient method to prevent accidental
injury from the blades that are not in use. The clip-lock mechanism allows you
to push the locking clip with your pinky nger. The built-in spring mechanism
provides a suitable and smooth opening and closing for each trimming activity
without fatigue or eort.
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 dierent, 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 ner 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 les to sharpen your blades. You’ll need three levels of coarseness (known as grits): coarse, ne, and extra-ne.
-
Clean with a scouring pad and a little warm, soapy water, scrub o all the sap, dried plant bits, and other gunk, and wipe the blades dry.
-
Hold a coarse le 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 le toward the tip in a curved motion that follows the shape of the blade and then run the le 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. -
Switch to ner grits to further sharpen the beveled edge. Use the ne le rst, followed by the extra-ne, using the same number of passes you used with the coarse le.
-
Finish by removing burrs by running the extra-ne le 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.
