I. Essential Maintenance After Daily Use (Required After Every Use)

• Thorough cleaning

  Remove grass clippings, mud, and twigs from blades, deck, and housing.

  Prevents mold, rust, and jamming.
• Blade inspection

  Check for dullness, nicks, or looseness.

  Sharpen or replace dull/damaged blades promptly to avoid poor cutting and extra power consumption.
• Test run idle

  Run the machine briefly after cleaning to ensure no jamming or abnormal noise.

II. Maintenance for Gasoline-Powered Garden Machinery

• Fuel maintenance

  Drain leftover fuel if not used for a long time to avoid clogging.

  Use standard gasoline; avoid old, stale fuel.
• Engine oil change

  Change once after the new machine break-in period.

  Replace every 30–50 operating hours afterward.

  Insufficient or dirty oil may cause engine seizure.
• Air filter cleaning

  Paper filter: clean with compressed air; replace if too dirty.

  Sponge filter: wash and air-dry before reinstalling.

  Clogged filter leads to weak power, high fuel consumption, and overheating.
• Spark plug check

  Remove and clean carbon deposits regularly.

  Adjust electrode gap if needed; replace worn plugs.

III. Maintenance for Electric / Cordless Machinery

• Battery care

  Do not store with a fully depleted battery.

  Keep at ~50% charge when not in use.

  Avoid sun exposure, rain, drops, and impacts.
• Body waterproofing

  Do not directly rinse motor, battery, or switches with water.

  Clean only with a damp cloth.
• Wiring inspection

  Check for cracked or loose wires to prevent short circuits and electric leakage.

IV. General Maintenance Rules (For All Garden Machinery)

• Blade maintenance

  Keep sharp for efficient cutting and less machine strain.

  Ensure secure installation to prevent loosening during operation.
• Lubrication

  Regularly lubricate gears, bearings, chains, and moving parts.

  Reduces wear and noise.
• Storage environment

  Store in a dry, ventilated, cool area.

  Avoid rain, direct sunlight, and dampness to prevent rust.
• Avoid overloading

  Do not force-cut thick branches or run while jammed.

  Stop immediately if foreign objects are detected.
