Hedge Trimmer blades are sticking

Remove the battery before inspecting blades.

Are the blades dirty?

Wear gloves when cleaning blades. Clean the blades with a dry brush or cloth. If the blades are sticky, you can clean them with a plant-based oil or lubricant.

Are the blades lubricated?

Lubricating the blades will also help to clean off sticky material, like sap. Use a plant friendly lubricant before and after every use. Run the unit to help clear the sticky material.
