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.
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.
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!
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 🙏🏼
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.

Great video Clint I need to clean mine now after watching how easy it is
It’s a quick and easy process mate ! But it’s something that’s often overlooked.
Very useful demo. A tool can go from terrific to a pain to use without proper maintenance.
Thankyou for watching 👍🏻
Excellent ! Thanks for us showing this very helpful video.
😀 Nice one. Gotta keep those blades clean - Nice one bro 🤙🏼
thank you so much very helpful.
How about a square head brush with brass / stainless bristles . And scrub from one end to the other , both sides .
Thanks for the video! Would you bother sharpening blades or just getting new ones?
Does this process remove resin please?
Thanks, good demo 😊
What type of WD 40 is that ? I just bought a new Echo HC 2020, could I use WD-40 silicone lubricant?
WD40 brand have a special cleanser. Orange oil based.
Thanks for that
Thankyou for watching mate 👍🏻
does this method clean /sanitize after you've trimmed a plant with disease? leaf minor, white fly, etc.?
With diseased plants, i spray any blades with metho.

Thank for watching mate, I’d try a wire wheel in a drill to remove the rust and give it a good lube up and with a Stihl cleaner and run the machine
@@CamdenGardenSolutions Thankyou so much, I will try that. 👍
@@CamdenGardenSolutionsHelpful for me too! Thanks!
What type of oils can you use for your blade can I use cooking spray??
Jimmy Dodgen I just use a home brand olive oil (doesn’t need to be a high end virgin olive oil)
You can but 3in1oil is the best .

did you use regular canola spray
Home brand is best
Your operator's manual should recommend take off the battery before cleaning for safety...
Thankyou for watching 👍🏻
Does it also recommend sitting to piss?
