How to maintain Hedge Trimmers
The blades on a hedge trimmer are the most important part of its upkeep. If your blades become dull, the blade will tear through the grass instead of cutting it.- Clean the blades: The best way to keep your blades sharp is to wash them after each use, but doing so will extend the life of your blades.
- Change the blades: If your blades become dull, or youre using the trimmer on a rough surface, it’s time to replace them.
- Oil the blade: Before each use, oil the blade of your machine to prevent rust and corrosion. Afterward, clean the blade to remove any excess oil.
- Sharpen the blade: If the blades on your trimmer become dull, you should sharpen them. Most trimmers come with blade sharpeners, or you can purchase one separately.
- Change the oil: Its important to change the oil on your trimmer regularly. If you dont, the engine will start to overheat, which reduces the life of the trimmer.
- Check your air filter: Every 100 hours of use, you should inspect your air filter. If the air filter becomes clogged, it will affect the performance of your trimmer.
- Remove debris from the engine: If you come across debris or dirt after youve cleaned your trimmer, remove it.
