Position the blades around the live stem to be removed and make a firm, controlled cut. The bypass action is designed to minimise bruising when cutting green plant material.
For best results, use the secateurs only on stems within their 20mm maximum cutting capacity.
Remove sap, moisture and plant debris from the blades after pruning. Keeping the cutting surfaces clean and dry will help maintain smooth operation and prolong the life of the tool.
Engage the safety thumb catch when the secateurs are not in use and store them safely in a dry place.
