Time to Sharpen your Clippers for Pruning

Written By Carli Holas

Sharpening Tips

Use a file (such as AC 8300/Corona) for all your pruning tools.

  • Maintain the same factory bevel or angle of the cutting edge when sharpening.

  • File the bevel edge from the pivot toward the tip four or five times, and check the edge.

  • File the flat side of the blade once, with the file against the blade, to remove burrs caused by sharpening.

Tip: Use fine steel wool to clean the blade.
