Below you will find some hints on trimming hedges:
If a hedge has to be cut back very substantially, trim the hedge in two
passes.
First cut the hedge to the desired height and stretch a
string along the hedge at the desired height. Guide the
blades of the hedge trimmer at an angle of 10 – 15° to
the hedge in order to get a straight cut.
Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape cutting from the
bottom to the top.
Round the top edges of the hedge.
Finally trim the bottom edges back.
Appropriately dispose of cut materials.
