Tool Talk – Loppers

These are loppers.

This is the handle.

I take the cover off like this.

This is the blade.

This is the cutting edge.

When I have finished with the loppers I put the cover back on like this.

I stand with the loppers like this.

I walk with the loppers like this.

I pass the loppers like this.

When I use the loppers I use them two arms and a tools length away from anyone else.

I use the loppers to cut wood thinner than a two pence piece.

I have bare hands on the tool.

When I am not using the loppers I put them down with the handle facing forwards and the blade facing behind me.

When I have finished with the loppers I put them in the designated place or in the toolbox provided.
