Operating Instructions

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Zenport H300S Harvest Shears. Follow these steps after each use:

1. Cleaning Blades: After each use, especially when cutting sap-producing plants, clean the blades thoroughly. Use a damp cloth to wipe off any sap, dirt, or debris. For stubborn residue, a mild soap solution or rubbing alcohol can be used. Ensure blades are completely dry before storage.
2. Rust Prevention: Although the blades are coated to resist rust and corrosion, drying them completely after cleaning is crucial. For long-term storage or in humid environments, apply a thin coat of light machine oil to the blades to further prevent rust.
3. Sharpening: Over time, the blades may become dull. Use a fine-grit sharpening stone or a specialized shear sharpener to restore the blade edge. Follow the original angle of the blade during sharpening. Sharpening should be done carefully to avoid injury.
4. Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point and the spring mechanism to ensure smooth operation and prevent stiffness.
5. Storage: Always engage the safety lock before storing the shears. Store them in a dry place, away from moisture and out of reach of children.
