HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES:
Never allow the machine to run at low speed for
starting or for cutting.
Trim sides of a hedge first and then the top.
Vertical cut:
With the single-sided blade hedge trimmer always
cut from the bottom up.
Horizontal cut:
In order to get the best cutting results tilt the blade 5-10 degrees towards the cutting
direction. Cut slowly, especially for thick hedges.
WARNING!
The hedge trimmer must only be used to trim hedges or small bushes. It is not designed to
trim other types of material. Do not use the hedge trimmer as a lever to lift, move or break
objects. Do not use it for pruning trees or cutting grass.
Cutting for dense growth: The most effective method is to use wide, sweeping movements,
guiding the cutting edge of the blade straight through the branches. A slight incline of the
blade downwards towards the movement will produce best cutting results.
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the like along the hedge so that you cut
the hedge to a level height. The branches above it will be cut off. Cutting the side of a
hedge with curve-shaped movements from the bottom up.
