• Do not place a hot hedge trimmer in dry grass or onto inflammable objects.
• Before starting your work make sure that:
- no other persons or animals stay within the working area,
- you can always step back without any barriers,
- your standing area is free from foreign objects, brushwood and branches,
- you have always a secure standing position.
If persons who have blood circulation problems are too often exposed to vibrations
damages to the nervous system or to blood vessels may occur.
You can reduce vibrations
• by thick and warm working gloves,
• shorter working time (have longer breaks).
See a doctor if your fingers swell, you don’t feel well or your fingers become numb.
Working with the hedge trimmer
Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on a safe distance from the body.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood’s type, age, moisture and
hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to your desired length
before trimming the hedge.
• Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer can be guided forward and
backward or by oscillating movements from one to another side.
• At first cut the sides of the hedge and then the upper edge.
• Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when you want to shorten
the upper edge of the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large portion of the hedge.
Best time for hedge trimming:
• Leaved hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every 6 weeks
Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so, put off hedge trimming or leave
this area out.
