Shears and Shrubbers

1. Charge up: Make sure your shears are fully charged before you start. These cordless garden shears are designed for maximum freedom – just grab your fully charged tool and head out into the garden.
2. Grip and go: The ergonomic handle is designed for comfort and control, and the lightweight design means you won’t feel weighed down, making it perfect for longer trimming sessions.
3. Trim with precision: Start by cutting the outer branches first, keeping the shears angled slightly for a cleaner cut. The sharp, high-quality blades ensure a smooth and even finish with minimal effort.
4. Shape as you go: These hedge and lawn edging shears are ideal for both shaping and trimming, and the 18V motor provides enough power to handle most tasks with ease.
5. Go the distance: If you're working on larger bushes, you’ll appreciate the runtime of the battery, which allows you to keep trimming without interruption. The shears are lightweight enough to reduce hand strain, so you can keep going without discomfort.
6. Finish and clean: Once your trimming is done, simply clean the shears and store them in a dry place for the next job. The quick blade release makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze.

Of course! The RYOBI® 18V ONE+™ Cordless 2-in-1 Grass Shear & Shrubber is designed to make cutting grass along edges and trimming small shrubs a breeze. With its 120mm shear/grass blade, it's perfect for tidying up lawn borders, around flower beds or along fences.

To keep your RYOBI® hedge shears running smoothly, it’s recommended to regularly sharpen the blades.

1. Turn off and clean the tool: Make sure the tool is powered off and the battery is removed. Use a brush to clear any grass, debris or sap from the blades and clean with rubbing alcohol and a cloth to get a clear view of the cutting edges.
2. Use a sharpening tool: Use a sharpening stone or metal file specifically designed for garden tools. Hold the sharpening tool at the same angle as the edge of the blade and run it along the blade, moving from base to tip. For best results, apply light pressure and sharpen evenly on both sides of the blade.
3. Check for evenness: After sharpening, make sure both sides of the blade are evenly smooth. If you notice any nicks or uneven spots, go over those areas again.
4. Lubricate the blades: After sharpening, lightly lubricate the blades with some tool oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
5. Test the shears: Once you've sharpened and cleaned the blades, reinstall the battery and test the shears on a small area of grass or shrub. If it cuts cleanly and effortlessly, you're good to go!
