Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the loppers for use, ensure the twist-lock mechanisms are fully tightened before making a cut to prevent the handles from slipping unexpectedly.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the SK5 steel blades with a dry cloth. If sap has hardened, use a mild solvent or specialized blade cleaner.
- Storage: Always retract the handles to their shortest position and store in a cool, dry place to protect the anti-rust finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the tension of the center pivot bolt. Ensure it is tight enough to hold the blades together, but not so tight that it prevents the compound action from engaging smoothly.
- Safety: Always wear garden gloves and eye protection while operating to guard against flying debris or slipping limbs.
