all woods have the same resistance to cutting and different forces are
EN
needed for each type of wood, such as the diameter or cross-section of
the type of wood.
To avoid this jamming the cutting blade, change the angle/cutting point
on the second attempt for better results and less wear on the pruning
shears (see Figure 5 and Figure 6).
Figure 5. First Cutting Cycle
To cut branches of a diameter or hardness that exceeds what might
be understood to be "pruning" or for which the machine has not been
designed, we advise the use of a manual saw.

Operating in Adverse Conditions
Pruning may sometimes be required in adverse conditions (rain, dew,
frost, snow, etc.). The pruning shears are protected against dew and
damp, but are not protected for work in water, rain, heavy dew, snow,
frost, ice, etc.
In the event of recent rain or considerable damp, when the wood is
soaked, ensure that the water does not soak the shears and get inside
them as follows:
1
Before pruning, shake the tree or branch firmly to get rid of as
much water, dew, frost, snow, etc. as possible.
2
If you have worked in adverse conditions, when you put the
shears away in the evening, leave them vertically with the cutting
blades downwards to drain off any water that might have got inside.
It is possible to reduce the amount of water entering the equipment by
using the shears from above the branch to be cut (see Figure 7
and Figure 8).
