Fiskars Gardening Tools

How to Use Fiskars Gardening Tools:

1. ‍Pruners and Shears: Hold the handle firmly with one hand and the cutting section with the other. Use a controlled, quick squeeze to make clean cuts on branches or stems. For heavy-duty cutting, use the bypass-style pruners.‍
2. Rakes and Hoes: For raking, grip the handles firmly and move the rake in long strokes across the soil to gather debris or spread mulch. For hoes, use a back-and-forth motion to break up soil and remove weeds.‍
3. Trowels and Hand Tools: Use for digging holes, planting small plants, or moving soil in garden beds. Apply firm pressure and dig carefully to avoid damaging roots.‍
4. Loppers and Long-Handled Tools: Extend the handles to their full length for better reach. Use these tools for trimming larger branches and cutting through thicker foliage. Always ensure the blades are sharp for efficient cutting.

Maintenance Tips:

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the tools with warm water and mild soap to remove dirt and sap. Dry them thoroughly before storing them.
• Sharpening: Regularly sharpen blades using a sharpening stone or Fiskars sharpening tool to ensure precise cuts. Avoid cutting through tough materials like wire, as this can dull the blades.
• Rust Prevention: After cleaning, apply a thin layer of oil to the blades to prevent rust. This is particularly important for tools that will be exposed to moisture.
• Storage: Store tools in a dry, cool location to prevent corrosion and damage. Hanging them on a wall or storing them in a tool shed keeps them organized and in good condition.
• Handle Care: Check handles regularly for signs of wear or damage. If needed, replace any broken or cracked handles to ensure safe and effective use.
