How to use

Ensure the pruner is clean and free of sap and debris before beginning. Remove the old blade and spring by loosening the existing fastener, keeping track of any washers or spacers. Fit the replacement blade in the same orientation as the original, install the return spring with correct tension direction, and secure the assembly with the supplied screw. After assembly, check blade alignment and adjust screw tension for smooth opening and closing without binding. If necessary, apply a light lubricant to pivot points and perform a few test cuts on soft material to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

For safety, wear protective gloves and ensure the pruner is secured while performing the replacement. Inspect the mating surfaces and pivot area for wear; if excessive damage is present beyond the supplied parts, consult a service professional or consider tool replacement. Regular cleaning and occasional sharpening of the blade will help maintain cutting performance after part replacement.
