How to use

Hold the secateur so the bypass blades pass by each other and position the branch as close as possible to the fulcrum for the cleanest cut. Make cuts at a slight angle just above a bud or branch junction to encourage healthy regrowth. For branches near the maximum capacity, apply steady pressure and avoid twisting the tool. Keep fingers clear of the cutting area and use both hands when removing larger cut material to maintain control.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean and dry the blades after use and apply light oil to the pivot to maintain smooth action. Sharpen blades when cuts become ragged and inspect the tool for damage before each season. Use the secateur on live wood and avoid cutting large dead wood beyond the specified 40 mm capacity to prevent blade damage.
