Using the Pole Pruner:

When using the telescopic pole, ensure it is securely assembled and adjusted to the appropriate length for the branches you intend to prune. Utilize the shoulder strap for better balance and reduced fatigue. The pruner head can be rotated 0-180 degrees vertically and horizontally for optimal cutting angles.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pruning shears.

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades and cutting mechanism to remove sap, debris, and dirt. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Ensure the tool is dry before storage.
  • Lubrication: Apply a few drops of lubricating oil (not included) to the blades and pivot points regularly to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Use the provided empty oil bottle for convenience.
  • Blade Sharpening: The SK5 blades are durable, but may require sharpening over time. Use the included sharpening stone to maintain a sharp edge. Refer to professional sharpening services if unsure.
  • Blade Replacement: A replacement blade is included. If the blades become severely damaged or dull beyond sharpening, replace them following the instructions in the kit. Ensure the battery is removed before attempting blade replacement.
