HINTS AND TIPS
How to use the Kleva Precision Pruners™
- Squeeze the handles together like you would with a pair of scissors. The ratchet system will kick in, cutting further into the branch with each squeeze.
- Keep doing this movement until it cuts right through.
How Often Should I Oil my Pruners?
- Oiling your pruners prevents rust and keeps them lubricated, so the more often the better.
- We recommend rinsing and oiling twice a year, to prevent build up of dirt and sap.
How to Use the Ratchet System
- To activate the ratchet, squeeze and release, squeeze and release.
- If you keep squeezing, the ratchet wont kick in, making it harder for you to cut.
- You'll know it's working when the small lever jumps up a notch every time you release.
How to use the Safety Latch
- Slide the latch up towards the Kleva logo to unlock the latch and release the blades.
- Slide it back down to lock the blades back into the closed position.
How to use the Sharpening Tool
- Slide the 6 in 1 sharpener along the top of any blade in a repeated gentle downwards motion.
- DON'T slide it back up in the opposite direction!
- Use the sharpener whenever you feel the blade become blunt on your pruners, knives, scissors and more.
How Much Strength is Needed to use Them?
- Thanks to the ratchet system, these pruners require less strength than regular pruners to cut through branches.
- Repeating the same squeezing motion will make the ratchet system do the hard work, so you won't be overworking or straining your wrist or hands.
Positioning Your Pruners
- For small branches, you can use the tip to cut.
- For thicker branches, use the Pruners V shape.
- If you feel branches are getting stuck, ensure the branch is situated right into the V shape to enable the ratchet mechanism.
