How to use

Hold the pruning shears in one hand with the blade aligned to the branch to be cut. Position the cutting blade on the side of the branch where a clean wound is desired and apply even pressure until the blade passes through the wood. For thicker branches, make multiple small cuts or use an appropriate saw. After use, wipe the blades clean of sap and debris and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
