How to Keep Hedge Trimmer Blades Clean

 

 

Below we provide some IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding the use of your hedge trimmer, please take a moment or two to read though the details to ensure you are using your machine correctly even if you have experience with hedge trimmers.

 

For your machine to last you as long as possible and give you the best cutting performance for years to come it is imperative that you look after the blades.

Blades can become stuck together easily with tree sap, debris even after just one use. It is highly recommended that you use a hedge trimmer spray before and after use.

 

Spray Stihl Superclean Resin Solvent onto the blades (front and back) and run for a couple of seconds to allow it to distribute before use and before storage.

 

Please note that blades being stuck together due to tree sap is not covered by the manufacturing warranty, so it is important to carry out general maintenance to ensure the longevity of your machine, even if you are only using it for a few minutes.

 

We highly recommend the product below available in two different sizes.
