Unboxing: Carefully remove the pruner from its packaging. Inspect the tool for any visible damage or missing components.
Inspecció inicial: Ensure the blade is clean and free of debris. Check that the locking mechanism operates smoothly.
Ajust de la fulla: The FELCO 2 features a micro-metric setting mechanism. Before first use, you may wish to fine-tune the blade alignment for optimal cutting performance.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

The FELCO 2 pruner is designed for efficient and clean cuts on various plant materials. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance and safety:

Agarre: Hold the pruner firmly with a comfortable grip. The ergonomic handles are designed to fit ambidextrously.
Posicionament: Position the cutting blade against the branch you intend to cut, ensuring the branch is fully within the blade's capacity (up to 25 millimeters). The anvil blade supports the branch during the cut.
Acció de tall: Apply steady, firm pressure to close the handles, allowing the hardened steel blade to cleanly slice through the material. Avoid twisting the pruner during the cut, as this can damage the blade or the plant.
Seguretat: Always keep fingers clear of the blades. When finished pruning, engage the safety latch to secure the blades in the closed position.
Absorció de xoc: The integrated rubber shock absorbers will cushion the impact at the end of each cut, reducing strain on your wrist and hand.

4. Cura i Manteniment

Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your FELCO 2 pruner.

Neteja: After each use, especially when pruning resinous or diseased plants, clean the blades with a stiff brush and a suitable cleaning agent (e.g., rubbing alcohol or a specialized blade cleaner). This prevents sap buildup and the spread of plant diseases.
Afilat: The hardened steel blade will eventually dull with use. Sharpen the cutting blade regularly using a sharpening stone or diamond file. Maintain the original bevel angle of the blade. Sharpen only the cutting blade, not the anvil blade.
Lubricació: Apply a light oil (e.g., machine oil or specialized tool oil) to the pivot point and blade surfaces after cleaning and before storage. This prevents rust and ensures smooth operation.
Ajust: Periodically check the micro-metric adjustment. If the blades do not meet cleanly or if there is excessive play, readjust the central bolt as described in the "Setup" section.
Emmagatzematge: Store the pruner in a dry place with the safety latch engaged. Keep it away from moisture and corrosive materials.
