• Ergonomic design to minimise hand fatigue
• Suitable for cutting stems and small branches

How to use

Hold the Felco 601 secateurs in one hand with the cutting blade aligned to the branch and the lower handle secured in the palm for stable control. Position the branch between the blade and the anvil or counter blade, apply a firm steady squeeze to complete the cut, and avoid twisting motions that may stress the blade or the plant. For thicker stems, make progressive cuts from the outer growth inward to maintain blade sharpness and reduce strain. After use, wipe blades clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Regularly check blade sharpness and adjust or replace cutting parts when necessary. Use the secateurs for appropriate branch diameters within the tool's capacity, and wear work gloves to protect hands during extended tasks.
