Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These secateurs require no initial setup. They are ready for use out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for general gardening use on live wood. Compatibility is not a technical specification but rather a functional one; they are best suited for branches and stems up to 15mm in diameter.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades with a soft, damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the pivot point with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Sharpening: Blades should be sharpened when they begin to show signs of dullness, typically using a sharpening stone or file suitable for secateur blades.
- Storage: Store the secateurs in a dry place, engaging the wire clasp locking mechanism to protect the blades and prevent accidental opening.
