Battery-operated pruning shears are effortless to use, as the user does not need to exert the force required with a manual shear. They provide a clean cut with two curved blades that pass by each other, like regular scissors. One of the blades is sharp and cuts as it passes by the thicker blade.

It is suitable for amateur and professional use, as it can be used on dry and hard tree branches.

The advantage that brushless motors have over brushed ones is that they do not have friction since there are no carbon brushes. Without carbon brushes, the motors are more efficient and have a longer lifespan as there is no wear (the carbon brushes in brushed motors wear out with use).

Maintaining pruning shears is important for preserving their performance and lifespan. The following instructions provide general advice. However, it is always important to follow the manufacturer's instructions in the shears' user manual.

• The blades need to be cleaned and disinfected after each use to prevent reduced cutting performance and the transmission of diseases.
• To avoid wear and rust, you can lubricate the shears according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Before storage, you can disconnect the battery when you know you will not be using the shears for a short period.
• Charging the battery needs to be done according to the manufacturer's instructions.
