SK5 Blade Rust Prevention & Maintenance

SK5 high-carbon steel blades provide excellent hardness and wear resistance. Like other high-carbon steel, the blades should be properly maintained to help prevent surface rust.

To keep the blades in good condition:

1. Clean after use
   Remove grass, leaves, sap and other residue from the blades after each use.
2. Keep the blades dry
   Do not store the hedge trimmer while the blades are wet. Dry them thoroughly after cleaning.
3. Apply a light coat of oil
   Apply a small amount of suitable anti-rust or lubricating oil to the blade surface after cleaning, especially before long-term storage.
4. Store in a dry place
   Keep the tool in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, humidity or condensation.
5. Regular maintenance
   For frequent use, periodically clean and lubricate the blades to maintain smooth operation and help protect against corrosion.

Important: SK5 is high-carbon steel, not stainless steel. Proper cleaning, drying and lubrication are recommended to help prevent rust and maintain blade performance.
