Flo Pruning shears 660-910 mm telescopic arm

Flo Pruning Shears 660-910 mm telescopic arm is a bypass pruning shear for trimming trees and shrubs. The length adjustment allows you to increase your reach without a ladder, while the shorter setting offers better power and control for precision work. Bypass cutting is recommended for live wood as it makes a cleaner cut with less tearing of the fibers.
The triangular profile steel arms provide rigidity and torsional strength, reducing deflection over long reach. The length is adjusted in stages, and the arms lock securely at the working length to maintain a stable grip during cutting. The padded handles improve grip even with gloves and reduce shock to the hands.
The geometry of the cutter and the long lever arm help to exploit the mechanical advantage on thicker branches, making the work lighter and more repeatable. Typical applications include garden maintenance cuts, annual rejuvenation pruning of fruit trees, as well as shaping shrubs and removing dry branches.
Maintenance of the structure – such as regular cleaning and lubrication of the cutting surfaces – extends the life of the tool. When the blades are kept sharp and the screw shaft is properly tightened, the cut is made with less clamping force and the mark remains clean.

Intended use:

Tree and shrub pruning: The telescopic handle allows you to reach treetops and the middle of shrubs without additional tools. The bypass cut is gentle on live branches and supports rapid wound closure when the cut is made outside the branch collar at a right angle.

Removing dry and damaged branches: The long lever arm provides sufficient force for dry branches and storm-damaged shoots. When the branch is removed cleanly, the surface area for pathogens is reduced and the crop is easier to shape for future seasons.

Shape and maintenance cutting for borders and ornamental trees: The stepless length adjustment helps you maintain an ergonomic working position, even if the area to be worked on is slightly further away. This keeps the cutting line controlled and repeatable during long work sessions.

Fruit tree production pruning: Accurate bypass pruning minimizes tearing in fruit tree species. Judicious removal of water shoots and crossing branches improves light access and balanced growth for the next crop season.

Features:

Cut type: Bypass cut – Clean cut on living wood, reduces tearing of fibers.

Length adjustment: Telescopic arm 660–910 mm – Reach without a ladder; better ergonomics.

Arm construction: Triangular profile steel arms – Stiffness and torsional strength over a long reach.

Handles: Padded, grippy handles – Better grip even with gloves, less shock transmitted to the hands.

Locking: Step-locking length – Prevents the shaft from sliding in under load.

Maintenance: Cleaning and lightly oiling blades – Protects against corrosion and maintains cutting performance.

Applications: Trees, shrubs, fruit trees, removal of dry branches – Maintenance and shaping cuts.

Flo Pruning Shears – user manual:

Adjustment: Select the appropriate length for your work (660–910 mm) and lock the arms according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Cutting: Set the blade alignment so that the cut is made from outside the branch collar. Press evenly on the handles; do not twist sideways.

Working rhythm: Cut small branches first, then move on to thicker ones. Keep the work area clear of your feet and ensure a stable position.

Maintenance after use: Clean the pliers of resin and moisture, dry and apply a light film of oil to the cutting edges and pivot bolt. Check that the screw shaft is not loose.

Warnings:

Do not use near power lines; watch out for falling branches.

Do not cut hard materials (metal/stone); the tool is intended for wood and brush.

Keep locked up and out of the reach of children.

Use protective gloves and goggles to protect yourself from splashes and splinters.

Ensure that the length lock is engaged before cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ:
Bypass or anvil? Bypass is best for living wood: the blade slides past the anvil and makes a clean cut. The anvil model is often suitable for dry, hard wood, but can flatten living tissue.
How do I prevent resin from sticking to the blades? Clean after use and use a light oil or resin remover. A layer of resin increases friction and reduces cutting performance.
How often should I sharpen? When the pressure increases and the mark becomes rough. Sharpen with a fine file/grinding stone following the original angle, remove burrs and oil.
What if the arm lock comes loose? Stop working, tighten the lock according to the mechanism's instructions, and only continue when the arms are clearly locked.
