FAQs
How often should I lubricate my Felco tools?
It is recommended to lubricate your Felco tools after cleaning them, or whenever you notice a decrease in smooth operation, typically after extensive use or exposure to moisture.
Is this grease safe for the environment?
Yes, the grease is biodegradable and free of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), aligning with Felco's commitment to environmental responsibility.
Can I use this grease on other brands of pruning shears?
While designed for Felco tools, it can be used on other high-quality cutting tools requiring lubrication. However, optimal performance is guaranteed with Felco products.
What is the shelf life of the grease?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed, the grease has a long shelf life. Refer to any batch information if available.
How much grease should I use?
A small amount is sufficient. Over-application is unnecessary and can attract more dirt. Focus on applying it to the pivot joint or designated grease pocket.
Does the water-repellent feature mean I don't need to dry my tools?
No, it enhances lubrication's effectiveness in damp conditions. Always clean and dry your tools after use to prevent rust and maintain their longevity.
Troubleshooting
Grease seems too thick
Ensure the grease has not been exposed to extreme temperatures. Allow it to return to room temperature. Apply sparingly.
Joint still feels stiff after application
Clean the joint thoroughly to remove old residue and debris. Apply a fresh, small amount of grease and work the mechanism until smooth.
Grease is difficult to apply
Use a small, clean tool (like a toothpick or small brush) to apply the grease to the joint, especially for small grease pockets.
