FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the non-stick blade?

The non-stick coating minimizes sap and residue build-up on the blade, allowing for smoother, cleaner cuts and making the secateurs easier to clean and maintain.

Are these secateurs suitable for cutting dead wood?

These are bypass secateurs, designed primarily for cutting live, green wood. While they may cut through some smaller dead twigs, anvil secateurs are generally better suited for tougher, dead material.

How often should I clean the secateurs?

It is recommended to clean the blades after each use to prevent sap build-up and maintain cutting performance. Periodic lubrication of the pivot is also advised.

What does 'deluxe' imply for this model?

'Deluxe' in this context refers to the enhanced features such as the cushion grip and the precision engineering, aimed at providing a superior user experience and performance.

How do I sharpen the cutting blade?

You can sharpen the blade using a whetstone or a sharpening file. Ensure you maintain the correct angle for optimal results. Always sharpen away from your body.

Can the cushion grip be replaced?

Replacement parts availability can vary. It's best to consult the manufacturer's website or customer support for information on replacing the cushion grip if it becomes damaged.

Troubleshooting

Blades are sticking or not cutting cleanly

Clean the blades thoroughly to remove sap and debris. Check if the blades need sharpening. Ensure the pivot is lubricated.

Lock mechanism is difficult to engage or disengage

Ensure the blades are clean and free from obstructions. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point and the lock mechanism. Check for any visible damage.

Cushion grip feels loose or damaged

Inspect the grip for tears or detachment. If minor, try re-seating it. For significant damage, consider repair or replacement if parts are available.

Rust spots appearing on the blade

Gently remove rust spots with a fine steel wool or rust remover. Ensure the secateurs are dried thoroughly after use and stored in a dry environment.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the pivot point with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation.
  3. Sharpening: Keep the blades sharp using a whetstone or sharpening file. A sharp blade is crucial for clean cuts.
  4. Storage: Always engage the lock mechanism when storing the secateurs. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
