5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pruning shears.

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove all dirt from the moving and fixed blades. Use a clean cloth to wipe the shears, battery, and charger. A soft brush or dry cloth can be used to clean dust from the shear head. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based cleaning agents.
  • Lubrication: After cleaning, apply lubricant to the blade side where both moving and fixed blades contact. This reduces resistance and prolongs blade lifespan. (Lubricating oil is not included; purchase locally).
  • Blade Replacement: If blades become worn or damaged, they should be replaced. Refer to the product's official service guide or contact customer support for replacement instructions.
  • Storage: Always ensure the blades are closed and the power is off before storing. Store the pruning shears in a dry place, out of reach of children.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your YOFIDRA Electric Pruning Shears, consider the following:

  • Tool not powering on: Check if the battery is fully charged and properly installed. Ensure the power switch is clicked to the ON position.
  • Blades not opening/closing: Double-check the power-on sequence (click switch, then double-click trigger). Ensure no debris is obstructing the blades.
  • Reduced cutting performance: Blades may be dull or dirty. Clean and lubricate the blades. If performance does not improve, consider blade replacement.
  • Abnormal noise or vibration: Immediately stop operation. Check for loose parts, damaged blades, or obstructions. If the issue persists, discontinue use and seek professional servicing.

If the pruning shears cannot operate or shut down properly, send for servicing immediately. It is dangerous to use the pruning shears when the tool could not operate or shut down properly.

8. User Tips

  • Match Tool to Task: Consider the maximum cutting diameter needed for your typical pruning tasks. If you frequently prune very thick branches, a tool with a larger cutting capacity might be more suitable.
