Key specifications

• Overall reach: 160 cm
• Handle type: T-handle for two-handed control
• Tool type: Long-reach tree shears designed for cutting branches at height
• Intended use: Pruning and trimming of trees and tall shrubs from ground level
• Application: Manual mechanical cutting without power source

How to use

Position yourself on stable, level ground and extend the long-reach tree shears to the required height. Place the cutting head on the branch to be removed, keeping both hands on the T-handle for control and stability. Apply steady force to close the blades and complete the cut; for thicker branches, work progressively by removing overhanging parts first or make multiple controlled cuts. After use, wipe any sap or debris from the blades and store the tool in a dry place.

Recommendations

Use the tool for live and dead-wood pruning within its mechanical capacity; avoid forcing cuts on branches thicker than the tool is designed to handle. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection, and inspect the cutting head for damage before each use. Regular cleaning and blade maintenance will extend the service life and maintain cutting performance.
