What's going on guys, Danny, with Linear Lawn Care. In some of the past videos, we showed you how to lube your hedge trimmers, we showed you how to sharpen your hedge trimmers. Now, we're going to put the hedge trimmers back together and we're going to show you one crucial thing that could save your equipment and help promote plant growth as well.

So let's get into this.

All right guys, so another key feature before you use your hedge trimmers or after you get done using your hedge trimmers, is making sure that your hedge trimmers are lubed. Now, regardless of whether these are together or apart, this is very simple to do. This is literally just going to sit on top of this, like it was sitting in the thing. So you've got it like this right here, so if you've got this, if I had this in my hedge trimmers like this, then when I go to lube these, I'm going to put some lube on the back side of the blade, not the front side, but the backside. That way when these move, this takes the friction off in between the blades here.

So I'm going to lube in between. So I want to lube the top of this blade right here and then if I flip this over, I would lube the back of this blade here. And so what this is going to do is, this is going to create a less friction when this is moving back and forth and such. So we all know friction causes heat and that heat could potentially damage the plant that you are cutting with these. So we're going to want to get away from that.

So one way I'm going to do this is, I would either, once again, go to the back of each of these blades and then flip the hedge trimmers over. But since I've got this apart, I'm going to flip this over here.

So today we're going to be using the ECHO Red Armor Blade and Blade Cleaner and Lubricant here for hedge trimmers, your pruners, things such as that. So we're going to open this up here. And this is like a honey, I guess you could say. So I'm going to run it down. One side, my blades on this side, my blades is on this side. So we're literally just going to take this and we're going to run it down the edge of this. So I'm going to run it down the edge.

And each time I come up, I'm just literally going to go up on my blade edge here and get that nice and lubricated. Now this don't take a lot to lubricate, as this is like a honey substance. So if you can tell, I don't know if he can see that or not, but it literally is like a honey substance that leaves a strand for you.

All right, so we've got this side done. Now we're going to move over to this side and we're going to do the same thing here. We're just going to come up the blade.

Now that that's done, I'm literally just going to take these and I'm going to lay the edges right on top here. So I'm just going to lay them just like that, to where they're nice and level push together. And that way, when I put these together, these will literally, as you can tell, move nice and smooth.

So this will also help keep these clean while they're being stored. And it'll also help keep less friction from that heat getting to your plants, whenever you're doing this.

So that's going to do it for this one, guys. I hope you enjoy. Don't forget to lube your hedge trimmers before each use, it's always a great thing to make sure that you have the less friction. These are fixing to be stored, so we got them lubed up nice. And we're going to put some lithium grease up here up top before we put these back together. Hope you enjoyed guys. Thanks for watching. We'll see you soon.
