FAQs

What is the maximum branch diameter these secateurs can cut?

These secateurs can cut branches up to 20mm in diameter.

How do I lubricate the blades?

Use the oil dispenser pad located on the handle to lubricate the blades after each use or as needed.

Are the blades replaceable?

The blades are made from hardened Japanese steel and are designed for durability. While the blades are not explicitly listed as replaceable, with proper care and maintenance, they should last a long time.

How do I store the secateurs?

Always engage the locking device to keep the blades closed when storing. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

What type of wood can these secateurs cut?

These secateurs are designed to cut both live and dead wood.

Why is there a ratchet mechanism?

The ratchet mechanism assists in cutting thicker branches by allowing the user to cut through the branch in measured stages, reducing the force needed.

Are the handles comfortable for extended use?

Yes, the secateurs feature soft-grip handles for enhanced comfort during prolonged use.

Troubleshooting

Blades are not cutting effectively.

Check for debris or sap build-up on the blades and clean them. Ensure the blades are properly lubricated using the oil dispenser pad.

Ratchet mechanism is not engaging.

Ensure the blades are properly positioned around the branch and that you are squeezing the handles fully. The ratchet only engages in stages.

Difficulty closing or opening the blades.

Check for any obstructions preventing the locking mechanism from working. Clean the area around the locking mechanism.
