How to use

Hold the Fiskars GS40 Horizontal blades with a firm but comfortable grip on the handle, positioning the blade at the required cutting angle for the target stem or branch. Use smooth, controlled motions to close the blades for a clean cut; avoid twisting or forcing the tool through thick branches beyond its intended capacity. For edging and shaping, work in short controlled passes to maintain precision and avoid accidental damage to adjacent plants.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the blades before use and keep them clean and lightly oiled to preserve cutting performance. Use the tool only on material appropriate for its size and design; for thicker branches, select a larger pruner or saw. Store the blades in a dry place to prevent corrosion and check the handle and pivot for wear periodically to ensure safe operation.
