FELCO 4 bypass secateurs for large hands

FELCO 4 combines forged aluminium handles with a steel blade and riveted counter blade. Its leverage supports regular pruning of woody plants and vines.

Rated cutting capacity is up to 25 mm. Wood species, condition and hand strength affect comfortable cutting. Use suitable loppers or a saw for thicker branches.

1. Check the fit

   FELCO 4 is designed for large right hands. Check that you can open and close the handles comfortably without changing your grip.

2. Position the cut

   Keep the blade towards the part of the plant you are retaining. Place the shoot deep within the open cutting head.

3. Close smoothly

   Apply steady pressure without levering sideways. Keep your free hand away from the cutting area.

4. After pruning

   Remove sap and dirt, dry the tool and apply a little oil to moving parts.

Before replacing parts, check the FELCO 4 marking on the tool. Use its model-specific manufacturer information to identify blades, springs and other components. Similar-looking parts are not necessarily interchangeable.

Follow the manufacturer instructions for the exact model and component when dismantling, fitting and adjusting.

• Keep your free hand and other people clear of the cutting area.
• Place the tool securely before maintenance; do not test sharp edges with bare fingers.
• Close the catch for transport and storage, and keep the tool out of children’s reach.

Remove residues after pruning and dry the tool. Lightly oil moving parts and wipe off excess oil. Sharpen the blade as needed, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

If cleaning and adjustment do not restore a clean cut, inspect the blade and counter blade for wear. Check the model before ordering replacement parts.
