Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Fiskars Solid Anvil Pruner L P361 comes ready to use. Ensure the sliding lock is disengaged before first use.
Compatibility: This pruner is designed for cutting dead stems and branches up to 20mm in diameter. It is not recommended for live plants where a cleaner cut is essential to avoid damage and disease.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the blade and pivot point to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Do this after cleaning and drying.
- Sharpening: The fully hardened steel blade can be sharpened using a sharpening stone or file. Sharpen at the same angle as the original bevel to maintain performance.
- Storage: Always engage the easy-open sliding lock when storing the pruner to protect the blade and ensure safety. Store in a dry place.
