7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your tool. Always remove the battery before performing any maintenance.

7.1. Cleaning

• After each use, clean the blades of the hedge trimmer and the bar and chain of the pole saw.
• Remove any sap, debris, or plant material using a stiff brush or cloth.
• Wipe down the tool body with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.

7.2. Blade and Chain Care

• Hedge Trimmer Blades: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the hedge trimmer blades to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. If blades become dull, they may need professional sharpening or replacement.

• Always remove the battery from the tool before storage.

Store the tool in a dry, secure location out of reach of children. Use the blade guards for both the pole saw and hedge trimmer attachments when storing to prevent accidental injury and protect the blades.
