How to use

Hold the pruners with the cutting blade facing the side of the branch you want to retain and position the anvil or counter blade on the part to be removed. Make a single, decisive cut close to the bud or branch collar to promote healthy regrowth, avoiding leaving long stubs. For thicker or tougher wood, make several small cuts or use a suitable saw for larger diameters. After use, wipe blades clean of sap and debris and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, sharpen blades periodically and check for loose fastenings before each use. Wear protective gloves and eye protection when cutting to reduce risk of injury. Avoid cutting branches thicker than the pruner is designed for; consult a larger pruning saw for heavy branches.
