操作手順
- Unlock the Shears: Push the locking mechanism to release the blades. The rotating handle will allow your fingers to move naturally as you open and close the shears.
- Positioning for Cut: Place the branch or stem to be cut as deep as possible into the jaws of the blade, close to the pivot point. This maximizes leverage and ensures a clean cut.
- カットの作成: Apply firm, steady pressure to the handles. The bypass action ensures a clean cut without crushing the plant tissue. The rotating handle will move with your fingers, reducing strain.
- 切断能力: The F7 is designed for cutting tasks involving twigs and plants with a diameter not larger than 2.5 cm (1.0 inch). Do not attempt to cut branches exceeding this capacity to avoid damaging the tool or the plant.
- 安全性： Always wear appropriate hand protection (gloves) when pruning. Keep fingers clear of the blades. Lock the shears when not in use.

メンテナンス
- クリーニング： After each use, clean the blades to remove sap and debris. A sap groove is integrated to help prevent sap buildup. Use a cloth dampened with alcohol or a specialized cleaning solution.
- 潤滑: Periodically apply a light oil to the pivot point and spring to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- シャープニング: The hardened steel blade can be sharpened. Use a sharpening stone or file designed for pruning shears. Maintain the original bevel angle of the blade.
- ブレード張力調整: The F7 includes an adjustment key (Figure 4) to fine-tune the blade tension and alignment. This ensures a precise cut over time. Refer to the diagram for proper adjustment points.
- 部品交換: All moving parts, including the blade and spring, are replaceable. Contact FELCO support or an authorized dealer for genuine replacement parts.

- Handles sticking or stiff: Clean the pivot area thoroughly to remove sap and debris, then lubricate with a light oil.
- Spring not returning properly: Check for debris obstructing the spring. Clean and lubricate the spring. If damaged, replace the spring.
