Setup

The Zenport MV190 lopper is designed for immediate use with minimal setup required.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the lopper from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if desired.
2. Initial Inspection: Before first use, visually inspect the lopper for any signs of shipping damage, loose components, or manufacturing defects. Ensure the blades open and close smoothly.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your Zenport MV190 lopper.

1. Identify the Target: Select the branch or stem you intend to cut. Ensure it is within the lopper's 1.75-inch cutting capacity. Attempting to cut larger diameters can damage the tool and cause injury.
2. Position the Lopper: Open the lopper handles wide enough to encompass the branch. Position the branch as deep as possible into the jaws of the lopper, close to the pivot point, for maximum leverage.
3. Make the Cut: Apply steady, firm pressure to the handles, bringing them together until the branch is severed. Avoid twisting or jerking motions. The bypass blade design ensures a clean cut.
4. Repetitive Cuts: For multiple cuts, maintain a comfortable and stable body position. Take breaks as needed to prevent fatigue.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Zenport MV190 lopper.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the blades and other metal parts with a clean, dry cloth to remove sap, dirt, and moisture. For stubborn sap, use a specialized blade cleaner or rubbing alcohol.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a few drops of light machine oil to the pivot points and the surface of the blades to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Sharpening: The bypass blades will dull over time. Sharpen the cutting blade with a suitable sharpening stone or file, following the original bevel angle. Only sharpen the outer edge of the cutting blade.
• Blade Alignment: The nylon-padded swivel head bolt and nut are designed to maintain alignment. If the blades become misaligned or loose, gently tighten the nut. Do not overtighten.
• Storage: Store the lopper in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Consider applying a thin layer of oil to the blades before long-term storage.
• Replacement Parts: Replacement parts, including blades, are available for this model. Contact Zenport customer support for assistance.
