Blade Sharpening
m
WARNING!
Always take extra care, especially when
your hand may be facing the cutting edge.
Bypass pruners will generally only have one blade, the lower
part being the counter blade which should never require
sharpening.
The cut of a bypass tool is achieved by the blade precisely
passing by the counter blade. It therefore follows that you
should never sharpen the flat side of the blade. If steel is
removed from here, the two parts will no longer meet precisely
and the tool will fail to cut. You must only sharpen on the
outside or bevelled side of the blade.
1. To sharpen your cordless pruner, hold the open pruner flat
in one hand and with the other hand place the sharpener
at a 15 degree angle along the bevelled side of the blade
(Fig. 23).
NOTE: Be careful to not sharpen at too steep an angle as
this could damage the edge of the blade.

2. Move the sharpener in one direction only, with smooth
strokes from base to end 4 to 5 times.

WARNING!
Do not over-sharpen. Be sure to test blades
repeatedly throughout the sharpening process to prevent over-
sharpening.
3. Turn the pruner over so the flat side of the blade is facing
up and slide the sharpener flush along the unbeveled edge
to remove burrs created by sharpening the cutting blade.
4. A bench vise can also be used to hold the tool during
sharpening, taking care not to over tighten the vise which
can bend the tool.

WARNING!
Minimize coating loss. Stay to the edge of
the blade when sharpening blades with low-friction or titanium
coating to minimize the loss of coating.
