I have a B&D corded hedge trimmer, I spray down the blades, let sit a couple minutes then wipe off. Wipe the dust off first so it can’t migrate to unintended places.

WD-40 is a good short-time rust preventer, it can loosen parts, my oldest son claims it’s an awesome cologne. You should be good my B&D trimmer is over 15 yo and does not get the respect it deserves yet works like a charm. B&D makes some pretty tough stuff.
