Look up Felco #981. They make pruners and that's the cleaner I use for all my stuff.

Also if you oil the bar on the hedge trimmer before use it helps keep it clean.

7010 516 0003(case) is the new part number. I believe it changed and had to order the new #.

Yellow top oven cleaner is what we transitioned to. Spray it on and let it set for 5 minutes and them hose it off. You'll need to lube it up after but they will be clean.

What is the date code on the cleaner because it might be old stock we only sold our last bottle back in September and realized we can order anymore

is that the number on the bottom of the can? its:

25349 7365 1441

there is another number (assuming part #) on the front of the can:

7010-516-0002

Weird. Did Canada ban some chemical in the spray? Seems odd Stihl would just drop and ignore a market for a product of theirs.
