Jul 17,2024 | Kebtek Store
Electric pruning shears are incredibly convenient tools, but without proper daily maintenance and regular care, they can become damaged or have a reduced lifespan.
By regularly cleaning the blades, maintaining the battery, and using the tool correctly, we can preserve the performance and safety of electric pruning shears, extend their lifespan, and achieve optimal work results. Here, we will look at how to adjust the blade gap.
Caution: Always turn off the tool and remove the battery pack before inspecting or maintaining it.
Caution: Wear safety gloves when handling the cutting blades to avoid injury.
Over time, the blade gap may become loose, which can lead to dull cuts. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically adjust the gap. However, do not overtighten the blades as it may overload the motor and shorten the tool's operating time.
