Frequently asked questions about Scissors and hedge trimmers

What basic maintenance do electric pruning shears require to last for years?

The most important thing is cleaning the blades after each day of work to remove any resin or sap residue that could block the mechanism: we recommend applying a little lubricating oil to the cutting area and making sure the battery is stored with some charge in a dry place, especially if you are going to stop using your electric pruning shears for a whole season.

Is it better to buy a petrol or electric hedge trimmer for a 500 square meter plot?

For a plot of land that size, a battery-powered electric hedge trimmer is usually the smartest and most convenient option: it offers enough autonomy to cover the perimeter without the inconveniences of noise, fumes, or engine maintenance that a petrol hedge trimmer entails, although if the hedge is very old and has very thick trunks, the power of petrol could be of great help.

Can professional pruning shears be sharpened if they lose their edge?

Of course, and in fact it's highly recommended to avoid straining the tool: professional pruning shears are designed so that their tempered steel blades can be resharpened with a diamond stone or a specific fine file, allowing you to recover that surgical cut so necessary for the health of your plants without having to buy a new tool.

What safety precautions should I take when using an electric hedge trimmer for the first time?

Safety comes first, so always work with protective gloves and safety glasses to avoid injuries from splinters: make sure the cable of your electric hedge trimmer is always behind your work area to avoid accidental cuts and use the restraint harness if the model includes it to distribute the weight evenly.
