Key Features

• Bypass Pruner: Features a non-stick coated, hardened bypass steel pruning blade for reduced friction and clean cuts.
• Folding Saw: Equipped with a triple-grind saw blade that cuts on both the push and pull strokes for smooth, clean, and healthy cuts. The saw blade remains safely locked into position during use.
• Comfortable Handles: Both tools feature non-slip soft grip handles to reduce stress during prolonged use.
• Corrosion-Resistant: Designed to withstand exposure to the elements, ensuring longevity.

Setup

The Fiskars Folding Saw and Pruner Set comes pre-assembled and ready for immediate use. No complex setup is required.

Unpacking:

• Carefully remove the pruner and folding saw from their packaging.
• Inspect both tools for any signs of damage during transit. If any damage is observed, contact customer support.

Initial Inspection:

• Ensure the pruner blades open and close smoothly.
• For the folding saw, ensure the blade locks securely in both the open and closed positions.

Operating Instructions

Using the Bypass Pruner:

1. Unlock: If the pruner is locked, slide the locking mechanism to the open position.
2. Position: Place the branch or stem to be cut between the blades, ensuring it is as close to the pivot point as possible for maximum leverage.
3. Cut: Squeeze the handles firmly and smoothly until the cut is complete. Bypass pruners are ideal for cutting live, green stems and branches up to the recommended cutting capacity.
4. Lock: After use, clean the blades and slide the locking mechanism to the closed position for safe storage.

Using the Folding Saw:

1. Open and Lock: Unfold the saw blade until it clicks securely into the open position. Ensure the blade is fully locked before use.
2. Position: Place the saw blade on the branch or wood to be cut. The triple-grind teeth are designed to cut on both the push and pull strokes.
3. Saw: Apply moderate pressure and use a steady back-and-forth motion. Allow the saw teeth to do the work; excessive force is not necessary.
4. Fold and Lock: After use, carefully unlock the blade and fold it back into the handle. Ensure it is securely locked in the closed position for safety.

Safety Precaution: Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, when using gardening tools. Keep tools out of reach of children.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Fiskars tools.

Cleaning:

• After each use, wipe down the blades of both the pruner and saw with a damp cloth to remove sap, dirt, and debris.
• For stubborn residue, use a mild soap solution or a specialized tool cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Lubrication:

• Periodically apply a light coat of lubricating oil (e.g., mineral oil or silicone spray) to the pivot points of the pruner and the saw blade to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.

Sharpening:

• The pruner blade may require occasional sharpening to maintain its cutting edge. Use a sharpening stone or diamond file designed for garden tools. Sharpen only the beveled edge of the blade.
• The folding saw's triple-grind teeth are designed for long-lasting sharpness and typically do not require user sharpening. If the saw's performance significantly degrades, consider professional sharpening or blade replacement.

Storage:

• Store both tools in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
• Ensure the pruner is locked and the saw is folded and locked before storing.
