What is the maximum cutting capacity of the loppers?

What type of wood are these loppers best suited for?

These loppers are best suited for cutting fresh, green wood.

How do I clean the blades?

Wipe the blades with a damp cloth after each use to remove sap and debris.

How often should I lubricate the loppers?

Lubricate the pivot point and blades occasionally with a light oil to maintain smooth operation.

Are the blades replaceable?

While the blades are made from durable steel, they may need sharpening or eventual replacement depending on use and care.

What is the benefit of the PTFE coating?

Troubleshooting

Blades are not cutting effectively.

Check for debris or sap build-up on the blades and clean them. Ensure the blades are sharp and not damaged. If needed, sharpen or replace the blades.

Lubricate the pivot point with light oil. Ensure no debris is lodged in the mechanism.

The PowerGear mechanism feels less effective.

Check for any obstruction in the mechanism. Ensure the moving parts are clean and lubricated.
