Description
The high degree of comfort you will experience from these pruning shears / secateurs comes from the exceptional ergonomics explicit in the FELCO design. The angled cutting head safely prevents the tool slipping in your hand, while ensuring that the FELCO 8 effectively becomes a part of you - to deliver ease of use, comfort that is immediately evident, along with less likelihood of muscle fatigue early on in your pruning tasks. The comfortable feel is reinforced by the rubber shock absorbers which contribute in reducing the cutting strain on your wrists, along with a handle shape which specifically optimises the force you are able to apply to your chosen cut. The precision setting mechanism also makes it possible to adjust the cutting head as you require.

Product & Maintenance Tips
Cleaning
It is advisable to clean your tool after each use. If your tool is particularly dirty or subject to rusting after exposure to moisture, do not delay cleaning.
Oiling
After cleaning, it is advisable to oil the tool so as to protect it from corrosion. The oil will also unjam the tool.
Sharpening
It is advisable to sharpen your tool at least once a day, but if you feel that your tool is not cutting as well as usual, sharpen it right away!
Dismantling
It is advisable to dismantle your tool on a regular basis, but at the very latest when it appears to be jammed.
Changing the anvil-blade
When the blade and anvil-blade no longer cross and the anvil-blade is badly damaged, it is advisable to change it.
Changing the blade
When the blade and the anvil-blade no longer cross, or when the blade is badly damaged, it is advisable to change it. Regulate the working of the blade and anvil-blade by adjusting the tightening of the nut. The blade should rub against the anvil-blade o
Changing the shock absorber
When the tool closes too abruptly during pruning, and the cushion is in good condition, the shock absorber should be changed.
Changing the thumb catch
When the thumb catch is damaged and loosens when used, even when the screw is readjusted, change it.
Changing the plastic coatings for handles
If the coatings are badly damaged, you can replace them. Soak the coatings for 2 minutes in boiling water - recommended glue: Loctite 415.
