Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These secateurs require no assembly. They are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure you select the appropriate secateur for the task: bypass for live growth, anvil for deadwood.
Compatibility: Suitable for pruning a wide variety of plants, including flowers, shrubs, fruit trees, and herbaceous borders. The integrated wire cutting notch is designed for soft wires, not heavy gauge metal.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the blades and pivot points to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Sharpening: The Eversharp technology is designed for longevity, but for optimal performance, occasional sharpening with a fine-grit sharpening stone or file may be necessary.
- Storage: Store the secateurs in a dry place, away from moisture, to prevent rust. Consider using a blade guard or storing them in their original box to protect the cutting edges.
