5.2 Pruning Operation
- Ensure the blades are clean and sharp before starting.
- Position the branch to be cut between the open blades. The maximum cutting diameter is 30mm.
- Press the trigger firmly to make a clean cut. The arc-shaped blades are designed to adapt to branches and create a flat cutting surface, minimizing damage to plant branches.
- Avoid forcing the shears through branches thicker than the maximum capacity.

- Sharpening: The blades are forged from tungsten steel. Use the included sharpening stone to maintain blade sharpness. Refer to the replacement blades for proper sharpening angles.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light oil to the pivot points and blades to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Replacement: If blades become dull beyond sharpening or are damaged, replace them with the provided spare blades using the wrenches.
