It should go without saying that the biggest safety tip when using your loppers is to not put your hands near the blade area. The blades of your loppers, especially if they’ve just been sharpened, can be extremely dangerous. You’ll also want to ensure that if you are using your loppers for extended periods of time, you take a break here and there to help ease the tension off of your wrists and hands. Using loppers requires a bit of force in these areas, so make sure to have proper rest for your hands and do not hurry with your tasks.
