The secondary hole in the attachment shaft can be used
for hanging purposes as well.

Clean the pruner thoroughly and lubricate before
storing.
Store the pruner in a dry, well-ventilated place that is
inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemi-
cals and de-icing salts.
Always place the scabbard on the cutting blade before
storing or when the pruner is not in use.
