How to use

Hold the pruner in one hand with the blade aligned to the cutting point, place the branch between blade and counter blade, and close the handles firmly for a clean cut.

Usage recommendations

Regularly sharpen and clean the blade to maintain cutting performance. Apply a light oil film to the metal parts to prevent corrosion, and inspect the handle for cracks before use. Use appropriate personal protection such as gloves when pruning.
