Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These secateurs are ready to use out of the box. Ensure the safety lock is disengaged before use and re-engaged after. Adjust your grip on the ErgoTec handles for maximum comfort.
Compatibility:
- Best for: Fresh wood, green plants, flowers, and stems up to 22mm (0.87 inches) in diameter.
- Not recommended for: Very hard, dry, or dead wood, which may be better handled by anvil secateurs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. The powder coating aids in easy cleaning.
- Sharpening: Periodically sharpen the blades using a sharpening stone or tool to maintain cutting efficiency. Ensure you follow the correct angle for bypass blades.
- Lubrication: Apply a light machine oil to the pivot point occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store in a dry place, preferably with the safety lock engaged, to protect the blades and prevent accidental cuts.
