handles, the tool stops.

Working Advice

Pruning tips (see figures C1–C10)
Never operate the tool in an awkward posture. This may
cause serious injury.
Keep your free hand away from the cutting area. Never
touch the blades. They are very sharp and you may cut
yourself.
C1 Always wear protective gloves while pruning.
C2 Never cut too close to the stem so the wound can
heal properly.
C3 Always make the cut about 8 mm from the bud.
C4 The cut should slope away from the bud so the rain
can run off.
C5 If you remove an entire stem, cut back to the point
where it branched.
C6 Never push the blade of the pruner into the ground to
cut root suckers.
C7 Cut branches one by one as shown.
C8 Remove overcrowds or crossing stems.
C9 Remove thin or weak growth.
C10 Always remove dead, damaged and diseased
branches.
Corrective Measure
Continue moving handles towards each other
while cutting.
Hold the tool with a firmer grip.
Grip the upper handle only and remove the tool
by tilting the blade.
Recharge tool, if necessary.
Try cutting in a thinner area of the branch.
