Maintenance Tips

• Clean Blades After Each Use: Remove sap, dirt, and debris from the cutting blades using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Apply blade lubricant to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
• Sharpen Blades Regularly: Dull blades reduce efficiency and strain the motor. Use a fine-tooth file or have them professionally sharpened when needed.
• Inspect the Cutting Mechanism: Check for loose or worn parts and tighten or replace components as necessary to maintain performance.
• Check Battery Contacts: If using a Husqvarna battery, keep the terminals clean and free from dust or corrosion to ensure proper power transfer.
• Monitor the Housing and Vents: Wipe down the trimmer body and ensure air vents are free from debris to prevent overheating.
• Secure Fasteners: Periodically check and tighten screws, bolts, and other attachment points to prevent vibration-related wear.
• Store in a Dry, Safe Area: Keep the trimmer in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Remove the battery when storing for long periods.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not force the trimmer through thick branches beyond its cutting capacity to prevent strain on the motor.
• Inspect Telescopic Shaft and Angles: Ensure the adjustable shaft mechanism operates smoothly and is free from dirt buildup that could cause sticking.
• Follow Manufacturer’s Maintenance Guidelines: Refer to Husqvarna’s manual for recommended servicing intervals and replacement parts.
