Position the stem securely against the anvil and close the handles with a firm, controlled action. The anvil mechanism is designed for pruning hard, dead and woody material and helps minimise twisting of woody stems during cutting.
Keep cuts within the manufacturer's stated 15mm maximum cutting capacity.
Remove sap, moisture and plant debris from the blade 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 being used and store them safely in a dry location.

Gardeners looking for compact, ergonomic anvil secateurs
Anvil secateurs are particularly useful for hard, dead and woody growth. Unlike bypass secateurs, the cutting blade closes against an anvil, making this design well suited to tougher dead material.
These Razorsharp Active secateurs combine a hardened carbon steel blade with a PTFE coating, providing strength, rust resistance and a smooth cutting action.
