How to use

Hold the MEGA 40006 bypass shears with the cutting blades aligned to the branch and position the tool close to the desired cut point. Apply steady pressure to close the blades, making a single clean stroke through the stem. For best plant health, cut at a slight angle where appropriate and remove no more than one-third of live growth at a time. Use the shears only within their intended capacity; avoid cutting material that is too thick for the tool to prevent blade damage and reduce strain on the user.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the blades after use and dry them to limit corrosion. Periodically inspect blade sharpness and lubricate the pivot joint to maintain smooth action. Store the tool in a dry place away from children. For larger branches or woody material beyond the capacity of scissors-style bypass shears, use a larger lopper or saw designed for thicker wood.
