7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hedge trimmer.
- Blade Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the battery and carefully clean the blades with a stiff brush to remove sap and debris.
- Blade Lubrication: Apply a light machine oil or blade lubricant to the cutting blades regularly to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. The blades are designed to be rust-proof, but lubrication enhances performance.
- Storage: Always attach the blade protective sleeve before storing the trimmer. Store the tool and batteries in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Recharge them periodically if not in use.
The blade protective sleeve provides safety and prevents damage to the blade during storage.
The upgraded rust-proof blade offers sharp, high hardness and wear resistance for smooth pruning.
