How do I remove the blade cover off my Cordless Grass Shears

Quick Answer

On some cordless grass shears models, the blade cover (or blade sheath) is designed to fit tightly to protect the blades during storage and transport.

If it feels difficult to remove, firmly pull the cover away from the blade while gently wiggling it from side to side. It should come off with a steady, firm pull.

Before You Start

Before removing the blade cover:

• Switch off the grass shears
• Remove the battery pack
• Place the tool on a stable, flat surface
• Wear protective gloves when handling the blades

Important: Never attempt to remove the blade cover while the battery is installed.

How to Remove the Blade Cover

Follow these steps:

1. Hold the tool securely

Grip the handle firmly with one hand while keeping the blades pointed away from yourself.

2. Pull the blade cover

Grip the blade cover firmly and pull it straight away from the blades.

Some models have a snug-fitting cover that requires a little extra force to remove.

3. Wiggle if necessary

If the cover does not come away immediately:

• Gently wiggle it from side to side
• Continue pulling firmly until it slides off

Do not use tools or excessive force to remove the cover.

4. Refit the blade cover

When storing the grass shears:

• Align the cover with the blades
• Push it firmly back into place until it is fully seated

A tight fit is normal and helps keep the blades protected during storage and transport.

Important Tips

• Always remove the battery before fitting or removing the blade cover
• Wear protective gloves when handling the blades
• Do not use screwdrivers or other tools to prise the cover off
• Always store the grass shears with the blade cover fitted
