2.5.7 Storage
Before any longer storage (e.g. at the end of the season) clean any dirt or plant remains from the cutter. Prevent all unauthorised persons from
accessing the cutter. Protect the cutter from wind but do not use airtight protection, which can cause higher corrosion.
Check that the blades are intact and sharpen them (if damaged, exchange them).
