Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These tools require no assembly. They are ready for use straight out of the package.
Compatibility: This set is designed for general garden use on live and dead plant material. The lopper is suitable for branches within its cutting capacity (typically up to 1 inch diameter), and the secateurs are ideal for stems and smaller branches.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For tougher residue, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the pivot points with a light machine oil or garden tool oil to ensure smooth operation. This is especially important after cleaning.
- Sharpening: Keep the blades sharp by using a whetstone or blade sharpener. Sharp blades make cleaner cuts and require less force.
- Storage: Store the tools in a dry place, away from moisture. Engage the locking clip on the secateurs to protect the blades and prevent accidental opening.
