How to use

Open the blade fully and ensure the locking mechanism (if present) is engaged before use. Hold the handle with a secure grip and use the blade to make clean, angled or straight cuts as required for grafting or pruning. For bud grafting, make the appropriate bud or T-cut and insert the scion or bud carefully to ensure close contact between cambium layers. After each use, wipe the blade clean, dry it and fold it back into the handle for safe storage.

Usage recommendations

Use on healthy, disease-free plant material and disinfect the blade between different plants to minimise cross-contamination. Keep the blade sharp for optimal performance and cleaner graft unions; sharpen or replace the blade following manufacturer guidelines. Store folded in a dry place out of reach of children.
