Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These secateurs require no assembly. They are ready for use out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for cutting live green stems and branches up to the maximum cutting capacity (refer to product specifications for exact limit, typically around 20-25mm for bypass secateurs).
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn sap, use a mild soap solution or a specialized secateur cleaner.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the pivot point with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation.
- Sharpening: Keep the blades sharp using a whetstone or sharpening file. A sharp blade is crucial for clean cuts.
- Storage: Always engage the lock mechanism when storing the secateurs. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
