Operations
Wand Maintenance and Cleaning
NOTE: We recommend removing fan leaves before using the Wander Trimmer and prepping the plant as if it were ready to hang dry. However, the Wander Trimmer can be used while the plant is still in its pot and as a dry trimmer, although we suggest trimming wet.
4. A pply 3-4 drops of food grade oil into cutting slot or use center hole in idle hub housing (Consistent oiling will ensure the wand and cutting blade last longer, remain clean and keep the disassembled cleaning quick and easy).
NOTE: Be sure to wear cut resistant gloves and eye protection before cleaning or handling the Wander Trimmer. (For best results clean wand components thoroughly and frequently).
3. Unscrew wand from driver hub housing.
Periodic Cleaning
1. Turn on vacuum and set speed control switch to variable, adjust speed (we recommend medium).
1. U nplug motor, speed control and vacuum and disconnect vacuum hose.
4. Remove blade, hubs and bearings. 5. Gently tap and rub the wand over the product working at the base of the flower while rotating the plant and maneuvering the wand (See product videos on our website www.eztrimming.com). 6. When you feel increased vibration or a stuttering in the cutting blade apply 3-4 drops of food grade oil into cutting slot or use center hole in idle hub housing. Decreasing the speed and/or increasing the speed of the motor after oiling will help self-clean the inside of the tube and the outside of the blade. 5. Using wand brush clean wand tube and cutting blade.
2. Hold the wand firmly.
3. Turn on motor and adjust speed (We recommend medium).
IMPORTANT: If the wand tube and cutting blade have developed too much build up and you find yourself needing to oil it more frequently, it means it is time to quickly disassemble and clean. It is important that you apply 3-4 drops of oil before turning off the motor. This will ensure that the cutting blade slides out of the tube easily. If you do not oil before turning off the motor and you let the blade sit inside the tube with large amounts of build up before removing, the buildup will dry and make it more difficult to remove the cutting blade from the tube. 7. Please refer to the cleaning section of this manual for proper cleaning methods.
2. Unscrew idle hub housing from wand.

6. B e sure the cutting edge of the blade is facing the right direction (cutting blade rotates clockwise when viewing from the bottom of the cutting blade).
10. I nstall top bearing onto cutting blade idle hub and screw on idle hub housing.
2. Unscrew and remove the wand from the driver hub housing, and remove idle hub housing.
6. Remove cable from driver hub housing
11. A pply 3-4 drops of oil into cutting slot or use center hole in idle hub housing.
3. Carefully remove the blade, hubs and bearings.
7. I f wand components are really dirty or have sat for a while allowing the buildup to dry, pre-soak in diluted purple simple green. 8. A fter components have soaked use the bottle brush and carefully clean the blade and all the components before toweling dry.
7. Install cutting blade hubs.
8. S leeve cutting blade with hubs and lower bearing into driver hub housing, be sure to align slot in driver hub with key on flex shaft.
Deep cleaning
4. Loosen set screw on hose connect and remove.
1. Unplug motor, speed control and vacuum and disconnect hose.
9. Sleeve wand around blade and screw on to driver hub housing. 5. Unscrew handle from driver hub housing.
9. A fter all of the parts have been thoroughly cleaned, follow assembly and operating instructions.

Motor Maintenance and Cleaning
Motor Maintenance and Cleaning
NOTE: The shaft should be checked, wipe cleaned, and re-lubricated with grease every 50 hours of use. With every 200 hours of use, the shaft should be thoroughly cleaned with solvent and lubricated with high quality white lubricating grease.
6. R eplace and adjust sheath so that shaft key tip extends ¾” (19mm) from sheath. Retighten the set screw in motor connector.
Installation of new shaft
Replacement of motor brushes
1. A fter removing old shaft, loosen set screw on the new flexible shaft motor coupling and slide coupling onto motor shaft.
Motor brushes should be checked for wear periodically. When new they are approximately ¾” (19mm) long. Replace them when they have worn to ¼” (6mm). To remove the brushes, disconnect motor power cord and unscrew the brush caps. Remove the worn motor brushes, replace with new motor brushes, and screw motor brush caps back on. Be sure to replace.
Routine cleaning and lubrication of flexible inner shaft exposing the inner shaft 1. Remove wand (see assembly instructions). 2. Loosen set screw on motor connector. 7. Clean outside of the sheath by wiping with a cloth.
Replacement of worn shafts and sheaths
3. Slide outer sheath out of motor connector and wipe shaft clean.
NOTE: Shafts and sheaths last longer when they are not used at sharp angles or loops. Since wear occurs at the points of greatest friction. There is no way to avoid ultimate wear, and under normal condition a flexible shaft machine may require several replacement shafts and sheaths during its lifetime. To expose the inner shaft follow steps 1, 2, and 3 “exposing the inner shaft”.
2. Tighten set screw securely onto the flat of the motor shaft. 3. Grease shaft prior to putting on the sheath. 4. S lide motor connector back up over the shaft and tighten to the left (counterclockwise).
1. R emove motor connector with 1” open end or adjustable wrench. Motor connector has a left hand thread and must be turned clockwise (right) for removal.
4. A pply a very light coating of lubrication to shaft starting at the top and working your way downward to about three inches from the hand piece end. Apply grease with your finger tip or small brush. Don’t overdo, apply a light film of grease. If too much grease is applied, the excess will work its way into the hand piece and eventually seep out between the hand piece and sheath. For this reason, apply a bit less near the hand piece end of the shaft.
5. N ever operate the motor with the outer sheath removed from the flexible shaft.
5. S lide sheath over flexible shaft with plain fitting directed toward the motor and into the motor connector. (Each end of the sheath has a metal fitting. One is plain, the other has a groove around it to fit the wand). 2. L oosen set screw on the flexible shaft motor coupling and slide shaft off the motor shaft.
6. Adjust the shaft and tighten sheath set screw in motor connector.

Trouble Shooting Issue
Reason
Solution
Wand vibrating and or stuttering
Blade and or tube is dirty, not oiling frequently enough, motor speed, shaft cable friction
Oil and/or clean blade and tube, adjust motor speed, check shaft cable lubricant
Blade stops or isn’t spinning
Seized blade or shaft cable key not engaged, blade hubs not seated correctly
Turn off motor immediately, check wand and cable, check that cable key shaft is engaged and/or hubs are seated in blade correctly.
Can’t remove blade from wand
Blade and or tube is dirty, not oiling frequently enough, foreign object bound in blade
Oil or clean more frequently, let soak in diluted purple simple green solution
Blade moves inside of tube

Turn off motor immediately, disassemble and verify bearing and hubs are in place
Broken shaft cable
Cable seized at high tork, no lubrication on shaft
Replace shaft cable
Cable twisted
High tension in cable, dirty, not oiling frequently, seized blade, cable needs lubrication
Turn off motor, inspect wand and cable, oil or clean more frequently
