I use a spray like WD40 to clean and lube the blades regularly called "Protect it" which is made by Briggs and Stratton. It is great for hedge trimmers because is plant based (made from lanolin out of sheep wool) unlike WD40 which is chemical based. Since it doesnt have nasty stuff in it you can spray then hedge straight away and it wont burn or damage the leaves/ stems of the plant.
Love that you use natural based lubracants. I didn't know that you could do that on machines. Thanks for the tip!! My husband recently passed away 😢 so I am trying to learn how to do all the many tasks that he used to do. Tool maintenance was always his domain. 🤔 Thanks for your videos!
😢 as hard as it is try to stay strong. I lost my brother 2 years ago to cancer. At times it’s hard for me to watch football games. We used to watch game together. My prayers are with.
Thank you for the quick to the point how to Vid. I've never used this before. My uncle lent me his electric hedge trimmer but I had to maintenance it before use he warned. now I can get to work on the yard. Awesome!
Just a heads up-using canola oil is a terrible idea for machinery. Food oils will gum up after extended use on blades. I know this from being a chef and lubricating electric slicer bars to make motion easier, until it got so bad that I had a lecture from the guy we had to call to clean it....he also left us machine oil along with his advice.
Hi Mate, great video! I have a question pls. What is the best method of removing rust off a hedge trimmer similar to the one in the video? Unfortunately it gathered rust after my dad decided to wash it with water and left it. 🙄 Please can you help me restore it to normal? Thanks again 🙏🏼
