Pruning lopper Cellfast C.BASIC (model 42-400) — tool for cutting branches

Cellfast C.BASIC pruning lopper model 42-400 is a manual garden cutting tool designed for trimming and pruning small woody stems and branches. The lopper combines a straightforward mechanical cutting mechanism with an ergonomic handle layout to support routine garden maintenance, shrub shaping and light tree care. It is intended for home gardeners and users who need a reliable hand-operated tool for occasional to moderate pruning tasks.

Advantages

The design focuses on ease of use and durability: a sharp cutting blade and a counter blade provide clean cuts while minimizing tearing of plant tissue. The lopper's handles offer comfortable grip and leverage, reducing effort for repetitive cuts. Constructed from materials chosen for strength and corrosion resistance, the tool is suited to outdoor use and simple maintenance. The compact size and manual operation eliminate the need for power sources and make the tool portable and ready to use wherever pruning is required.

Suitable for

• Trimming small branches and woody stems in gardens and around homes
• Shaping shrubs, hedges and ornamental plants
• Light pruning of fruit trees and young trees
• General garden maintenance and seasonal clean-up

Key specifications

• Tool type: hand-operated pruning lopper suitable for cutting branches
• Cutting mechanism: blade and counter blade for clean scissor-like cuts
• Intended cutting capacity: small to moderate diameter branches (typical for manual loppers of this class)
• Handle design: ergonomic grips to enhance leverage and comfort during use
• Construction: corrosion-resistant materials for outdoor durability
• Portability: lightweight and manual, no power source required

How to use

Select branches within the tool's effective cutting range and position the blade close to the branch collar for healthy cuts. Hold the handles with both hands, apply steady pressure and close the handles in a controlled motion to perform the cut. For thicker or tougher stems, make several smaller cuts rather than forcing a single cut to avoid damaging the blade or the plant. After use, clean sap and debris from the cutting surfaces and store the lopper in a dry place to preserve blade condition and mechanism function.

Usage recommendations

Use the Cellfast C.BASIC lopper for routine pruning tasks where manual, non-powered cutting is appropriate. Wear protective gloves and eye protection when pruning. Keep blades sharp and lightly oiled to maintain cutting performance, and inspect handles and joints periodically for wear. Do not attempt to cut branches significantly thicker than the tool's capacity to avoid damage to the lopper and unsafe conditions.
