Its innovative cutting modes elevate this pruner above traditional tools, offering unparalleled control and adaptability for both novice and experienced users.
Advanced Cutting Modes
The Zenport EP26 features three advanced cutting modes to meet a variety of pruning needs:
- Progressive Cut Mode: This mode provides precise control by allowing the user to adjust the blade’s speed and position with the trigger, mimicking the feel of manual pruners. Ideal for delicate tasks like trimming young vines or intricate shaping.
- Adaptive Cut Mode: Optimize efficiency by setting the blade's resting position to a custom opening size. This feature speeds up pruning for smaller cuts and saves battery power by limiting unnecessary blade movement. Adaptive cut mode is particularly useful for repetitive pruning tasks, such as vineyard maintenance.
- Hair-Trigger Mode: For fast, effortless cuts, this mode automatically completes a full cut with just a light trigger pull. It operates like a pneumatic pruner but is much safer, as the blade immediately stops and returns to its resting position when the trigger is released.
Battery Care for Longevity
The Zenport EP26 relies on advanced lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which offer exceptional performance but require proper care to ensure longevity. Follow these tips to maximize battery life:
- Charge regularly: Charge the battery to full capacity at least once a month to maintain optimal performance.
- Avoid extreme temperatures: Exposure to temperatures above 140°F or below freezing can significantly reduce battery lifespan.
- Store correctly: Never store a discharged battery with less than 50% charge. Always give it a full charge before storing it.
- Protect from sunlight: Keep batteries out of direct sunlight to prevent overheating.
- Cycle periodically: Perform complete discharge and recharge cycles occasionally to maintain battery health.
By adhering to these practices, you’ll ensure that your pruner's batteries remain reliable and efficient for years to come.
