FAQs
Can I use these on dry or dead branches?
These are designed for live, green growth. Using them on hard, dry wood can damage or dull the blades prematurely.
Are the blades replaceable?
The blades are designed to be sharpened, but for long-term maintenance, contact your local Stihl dealer regarding replacement parts.
How do I sharpen the blades?
Use a fine-grit sharpening stone at the existing factory angle of the blade, working carefully to maintain the edge profile.
What is the maximum cutting capacity?
The PG 10 is designed for light trimming; avoid stems that require excessive force or exceed the capacity of the bypass gap.
How do I clean the sap groove?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clear any debris trapped in the groove, then dry thoroughly before storing.
Is the handle ergonomic for left-handed users?
The ergonomic grip is designed for general comfort, though the safety clasp operation is primarily oriented for standard usage.
Troubleshooting
Secateurs feel 'sticky' or difficult to open.
Sap has likely built up on the blade. Clean the blades with a solvent or resin remover and apply a light coat of oil.
Tool is bruising the stems instead of cutting cleanly.
The blade has likely dulled. Sharpen the cutting blade edge and ensure the pivot screw is properly tightened.
The blades don't bypass each other correctly.
Check the center pivot bolt to ensure it is not too loose, which can allow the blades to separate during the cut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These secateurs arrive ready to use out of the box. No assembly is required.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After every use, wipe the blades clean of sap and moisture to prevent corrosion.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot point and blades to keep the action smooth.
- Sharpening: When you notice the tool beginning to 'chew' stems rather than slicing through them, use a fine sharpening stone to hone the edge of the blade, following the original bevel angle.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment. Always engage the single-hand clasp before placing them in your toolbox or apron to protect the blade and your hands.
