Operating Instructions

How to Use Your Lopper

Follow these steps for effective and safe branch trimming:

1. Identify Target Branch: Select the branch you wish to cut. Ensure it is within the lopper's 1.6-inch cutting capacity.
2. Position the Lopper: Open the lopper handles wide enough to encompass the branch. Place the branch as deep as possible into the jaws of the blade, close to the pivot point. This provides maximum leverage.
3. Apply Pressure: With both hands firmly gripping the handles, apply steady, even pressure to close the blades. The bypass action will make a clean cut. Avoid jerking or twisting the lopper.
4. Clear Debris: After cutting, remove the severed branch and any other debris from your work area.

Cleaning

• After each use, clean the blades to remove sap, dirt, and debris. Use a stiff brush and warm soapy water, or a specialized blade cleaner.
• Dry the blades thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent rust.

Sharpening

• The SK-5 steel blade is designed to stay sharp, but over time, it may require sharpening.
• Use a sharpening stone or file specifically designed for garden tool blades. Follow the original bevel angle of the blade.
• Always sharpen away from your body and wear protective gloves.

Lubrication and Storage

• Apply a light coat of machine oil to the blades and pivot points after cleaning and drying to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
