FAQs

Are the blades replaceable?

Yes, the blades are interchangeable, allowing you to replace them if they become damaged or worn beyond repair.

Can I sharpen the blades myself?

Yes, the lower forged blade is re-sharpable, and both blades can be maintained with a whetstone or sharpening file.

What are the sap tracks for?

The sap tracks are designed grooves that help prevent sap from the branches from sticking to the blades, ensuring a cleaner cut and smoother operation.

Who is this secateur best suited for?

This secateur is ideal for individuals with larger hands who perform regular garden and forest work, requiring a robust tool for cutting branches.

How do I maintain the secateurs to ensure longevity?

Regularly clean the blades after use, sharpen them when needed, lubricate the pivot point, and store them in a dry environment.

Are the aluminium handles durable?

Yes, aluminium provides a good balance of strength and light weight, making the handles durable for regular use while remaining comfortable to hold.

Do the dampers make a significant difference?

Yes, the dampers are designed to absorb shock and reduce vibrations, leading to more comfortable use, especially during prolonged periods of work.

Troubleshooting

Blades are sticking or not cutting smoothly.

Clean the blades thoroughly to remove sap and debris. Check if the blades need sharpening. Ensure the pivot point is clean and lubricated.

Handles feel loose or wobbly.

Check the pivot screw. If it's adjustable, tighten it slightly. If the looseness persists, it may indicate wear on the pivot components.

Difficulty cutting thicker branches.

Ensure you are using the secateurs correctly, applying steady, even pressure. The high force handles should assist, but do not force the tool beyond its intended capacity. Sharpened blades will also improve cutting power.

Vibrations are still noticeable.

Ensure the vibration dampers are intact and properly seated. While dampers reduce vibrations, some level may still be felt with very tough cuts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This secateur is ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure the blades are clean and free of any protective coating if present. Check that the handles move freely.

Compatibility: Designed for cutting branches and woody stems. Its size is best suited for users with medium to large hands. Not recommended for cutting very thin or delicate stems where precision is key.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth. For sap residue, use a mild solvent or rubbing alcohol on a cloth, being careful not to oversaturate.
  2. Sharpening: Periodically sharpen the blades using a whetstone or a sharpening file. Focus on maintaining the original bevel angle for optimal cutting performance. The lower forged blade is designed to be re-sharpable.
  3. Lubrication: Lightly lubricate the pivot point with a suitable tool oil occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
  4. Storage: Store the secateurs in a dry place, preferably with the blades closed and protected, to prevent rust and damage.
