FAQs

What is the maximum stem thickness these secateurs can cut?

These secateurs are designed to cut stems up to 25mm (approximately 1 inch) in thickness.

Are these secateurs suitable for cutting dry, woody branches?

No, these bypass secateurs are best suited for cutting live, green stems and younger growth. For dry, woody branches, loppers or saws may be more appropriate.

How do I maintain the non-stick coating on the blades?

Wipe the blades clean after each use with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.

Can the blades be replaced if they become damaged?

Yes, the blades are fully replaceable, allowing you to maintain the tool's performance over time. Refer to Wolf Garten's support for replacement parts.

What is the benefit of a bypass cutting action?

A bypass action, similar to scissors, provides a clean, precise cut on live plant material, which promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of disease compared to anvil-type cutters.

How often should I lubricate the secateurs?

It is recommended to lubricate the pivot point periodically, especially after cleaning or if you notice any stiffness in operation, to ensure smooth performance.

Troubleshooting

Secateurs feel stiff or sticky

Clean the blades thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are completely dry, then lubricate the pivot point with a light oil.

Cutting is not clean

Check if the blades are dull. Sharpen them using a sharpening stone. Ensure the stem is within the 25mm cutting capacity and that the bypass action is aligned correctly.

Locking mechanism is difficult to use

Ensure there is no debris obstructing the lock. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the locking mechanism and work it back and forth.

Spring mechanism is not working

Check if the spring is damaged or dislodged. If it is loose, try re-seating it. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These secateurs are ideal for general gardening tasks on plants with stems up to 25mm thick. They are compatible with Wolf Garten's range of replacement parts for blades.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild cleaning solution can be used, followed by thorough drying.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light lubricant to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation.
  3. Sharpening: Keep the blades sharp using a sharpening stone or file designed for secateurs. Ensure correct angle to maintain cutting efficiency.
