Q&A
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after every use: Remove sap, clippings, and debris from blades, gearbox, and vents using a soft brush or cloth to prevent buildup and performance loss.
-
Blade care & lubrication: Apply resin solvent or light machine oil after cleaning, then briefly run blades to distribute lubricant evenly and reduce friction.
-
Inspect cutting blades regularly: Check for dull, bent, or damaged teeth; sharpen or replace if cutting becomes uneven or the tool starts grabbing material.
-
Check air intake & cooling zones: Keep vents free from dust and hedge debris to prevent overheating during long commercial use cycles.
-
Gearbox maintenance: Periodically inspect and lightly grease the gear head (as per service schedule) to maintain smooth blade motion and reduce wear.
-
Fastener & housing check: Tighten accessible screws and inspect housing for cracks or impact damage, especially in daily professional use.
-
Fuel system care (petrol models): Use fresh fuel mix, avoid stale fuel, and check for leaks or irregular idling before operation.
-
Storage routine: Fit blade guard, lightly oil blades, and store in a dry place away from moisture to prevent corrosion and sticking.
