01 / EVEN OUT THE SURFACE

Level the rug before you define the detail.

Use the 450W shears to level and smooth larger areas of your rug before moving on to carving individual shapes and colour boundaries.

The straight 13-prong blade works across the surface, while six speed settings let you choose a pace for the area you are finishing.

  • Larger surfacesWork across broad areas before moving on to detail carving.
  • Six speed settingsAdjust the speed between levels 1–6.
  • Room to moveAn approximately 5 m power cable gives you room around the rug.

02 / ADD CONTROL WITH THE GUIDE

Keep the shaving height more consistent.

The shearing guide helps hold the machine at a more consistent height as you work across your rug. It also supports the tool’s weight, making it easier to control the pass.

The guide is especially useful if you are new to a powerful shearing tool. Practise on a spare tufted piece before working on the finished rug.

  • Consistent heightHelp control how much pile you remove across the surface.
  • Support for the toolThe guide helps support the machine while you shear.
  • Choose what you needGet the shears and guide together, or choose either item separately.

Before your first pass

Practise on a spare tufted piece and begin gradually. Use the guide to help control height, and check the surface as you work. Removing too much pile can gouge the rug.

Cleaning and care

Switch off the tool and disconnect plug-in power before cleaning or working around the blade.

Brush away loose fibres and regularly lubricate the blade. After oiling, run the tool briefly to distribute the oil, then switch it off, disconnect its power and wipe away excess oil before returning to your rug.

A few useful answers

Before you choose.

Should I choose these shears or the CP-I?

The 450W shears with a guide are the lower-cost alternative for levelling larger rugs. The CP-I rug shearer is EFFY’s choice when you want a very smooth professional finish with very few passes.

Choose for the size of your work, your budget and the finish you want.

Is the shearing guide included?

Only with the “450W shears + shearing guide” option. “450W shears only” contains the machine and its accessories. “Shearing guide only” contains no machine.

Which voltage will I receive in New Zealand?

Shearer orders for New Zealand are supplied as 220–230V, matched to the delivery destination. You do not need to select the voltage separately. The guide-only option contains no machine.

Which yarns are suitable?

These shears are suitable for EFFY cotton blend yarn and acrylic rug yarn, as well as rug wool. Different fibres and tufting densities can behave differently, so try a spare tufted piece first.

Can I use these for detailed carving too?

The 450W shears are useful for levelling broad surfaces. For colour boundaries, lettering and detailed shaping, compare the smaller Rosewood carver and wireless carver.

How is it shipped to New Zealand?

The shearer, shearer-and-guide set and guide-only option all ship Factory Direct to New Zealand.
