5 important and fast tips about electric pruning shears

Electric pruning shears is becoming an indispensable tool for fruit farmers, in order to guarantee better harvests in fruit tree planting, proper pruning and grafting shall be applied in the right season. While pruning branches is very physically demanding. Sometimes the efficiency of manual pruning shears can jeopardize the fruit setting rate. Then orchardman’s demand of improving the efficiency in pruning season push forward the invention of electric pruning shears.

The operating principle of electric pruning shears

A battery pruning shear consists of a shear knife, an integrated (control) circuit, a motor assembly, a reduction gear and a power supply (lithium battery),cordless pruning shears. When working, pull the trigger switch twice to start the brushless motor through the reduction gear to make the shear knife open and close 40-60 times per minute to cut tree branches.Most of electric pruning shears are cordless shears,and diameter of cutting  is demand the blades .

Electric pruning shears are rechargeable,driven by lithium batteries.

Application of battery pruning shears

1. Nursery gardening pruningand shaping.

2. Fruit harvesting and shearing of thick and hard fruit tips in orchards.

3. Municipal garden tree pruning and shaping.

4. Pruning and shaping of grapes, apples, pears, peaches, prunes, lychees and other fruit trees, pruning of mulberry branches.

Electric pruning shears features

1.Lightweight.

Electric pruning shears are a small pruning tool. Peoplewant to work easily by using it, if too bulky then it will not be popular. Most of the handy electric pruning shears are lightweight. They consist of a fixed blade, a cutting blade, a lithium battery, a charger, a connection cable, a tool bag and a tool box. The materials are selected to ensure quality without being too heavy. The lithium batteries are ultra-light, with a large capacity and a long service life.

2.Good performance.

Low failureSmooth running, simple overall structure, high cutting capacity and life span of the blade, less faults and easier adjustment and maintenance.

Powerful, strong power, no more hand straining with long working hours, leave no burden for the following work.

3.The use of a long time.

Electric pruning shears sufficient power to work well.

4.Rechargeable,cordless

Lithium battery powered, portable and convenient

Why prune my fruit trees?

The purpose of pruning is to maximize fruit production, efficiency and income;

For densely planted trees, the branches must be trimmed in time. Otherwise they interfere each other from growing and fruit yield is declined.

This is why pruning is needed at several steps of growth. By keep the tree in shape, it can grow more fruit.

Pruning is required at the following stages of growth:

1. Pruning is required at the young stage.

The purpose of pruning at this stage is to expand the canopy, increase the number of branches, adjust the shape of the tree and allow for greater photosynthesis. A reasonable pruning during this period can also boost the quantity and quality of fruit and help to harvest earlier, unlike the fruit trees planted in front of the house, which have to wait several years for harvest.

2. Pruning is required in the fruiting season.

During this period, some weak branches, diseased branches, and branches affecting photosynthesis of fruit trees were cut off. The purpose was to make the fruit trees better grow and develop, maintain a good tree structure, and balance the relationship between fruiting and growth, so as to prolong the full fruit period of fruit trees.

  3.Pruning is required at old age.

During this period, some branches that affect the nutrient absorption and photosynthesis of fruit trees shall be cut off timely, so that some strong branches can better absorb nutrients and grow.  The fruit yield of old trees can be maintained at a higher level.

Three steps for pruning fruit trees

1. Backbone main branches pruning with electric pruning shears

Prune first from the base of the main branch, cut from the full bud. But attention should be paid to the position of the shear. The auxiliary branches should be kept according to the spatial orientation between the side branches, and the vertical branches, bare branches and competitive branches should be thinly removed. After all these work and then to another main branch.

2. Pruning auxiliary branches with electric pruning shears

The shape of the fruit tree is mostly layered. Cut the base of the main branch, and then prune the layer between the auxiliary branches. Auxiliary branches can be inserted to fill in the gaps. Retract or thin out if there’s no space. If the tree has a lot of space for side branches, the auxiliary branches can be developed into a fan shape.

3. Check pruning

Fruit trees should be carefully checked after pruning. After pruning, the tree shape shall be like that the branches do not overlap up and down, neighborings do not cross around, staggered, flower buds and leaf buds are evenly distributed.

Precautions for the use of  pruning shears

1. If you accidentally put a non-cuttable object into the cut, you should immediately release the trigger so that thecutting blade will automatically return to the open state.
2. If the branch is too hard, the trigger should be released in time and the power blade will automatically return to the open state.
3. When the battery can not be charged normally, pleasecheck whether the battery charger is the original charger attached to the product. Meanwhile, the charging voltage must be consistent with the voltage on the nameplate.
4. If an electrical or mechanical fault has occurred, please be sure to turn off the switch immediately.
5. After using the electric pruning shears for a period of time, the blades need to be checked.If the blade is excessively worn, you need to grind it on a grinding wheel. For installation, you also need to pay attention to the upper and lower clearance to prevent excessive wear in use.
