General Details

Caution

Loppers have a built-in ratchet system which makes them extremely easy to use. They are not designed to be forced. As you squeeze the handle, you will feel a definite stop. Do not force them beyond this point. You may hurt your hand or damage the shears. Simply release the pressure on the handle slowly until you hear a click, then squeeze the handle again. Continue this squeeze and release action until you are completely through the branch.

Do not twist the blade by forcing the handle from side to side, otherwise you may damage the sharp blade edge. If the blade seems not to have cut right through the branch, it means that you need to continue the squeeze and release action. For maximum ease of cutting, the branch needs to be deep into the jaws of the shears as possible. Do not attempt to cut branches that will not fit at least half way into the jaws.

Extra product information

This tool has a sharp, hardened steel blade with Teflon coating and long steel adjustable handles which are built up to a large moulded grip. The shears have a 4 stage heavy duty ratchet mechanism and its parts are held together with screws and bolts for easy exchange of parts or for ease of blade sharpening.

The 2 section handles are adjusted by sliding one section into the other and locking it at desired length by twisting the end section clockwise or counterclockwise or for the EasyLopper model, you look it at desired length by using the clamp mechanism. The long adjustable handles allow use from a standing position without bending or over reaching, or from a seated position.
In here, you can add any information that could not be provided by the rest of the template.

Method of Use

First open the handles completely, to position the ratchet mechanism correctly. Slide the branch to be pruned firmly under the blade, close the shears, and begin cutting. When resistance is felt release pressure with right hand to allow lopper to open slightly, so as to allow the ratchet to engage in the next notch. Repeat this operation until the branch is cut off. The lopper handles are made of steel and are very strong but with excessive force they can be bent.
