or work on the hedge cutter� You should only connect the hedge cutter to 230 V power sockets (single-
phase plugs with AC)� Check that the mains supply’s voltage matches the tool’s rated voltage�
Recommended periods for hedge trimming
• Leaved hedges: June and October�
• Fir hedges: April and August�
• Conifer hedges and other fast-growing hedges: from May, approximately every six weeks�
• Young hedges should be cut more often to make them denser�
How much the hedges need cutting after this will depend on how much they grow�
• When the new shoots are approximately 15 cm long, you should cut them down to 2 cm� If you
prune the young shoots the denser the hedge will become�
• When the hedge is approximately 1 metre high, it should be cut into a trapezoid shape (narrower
towards the top)� That way the lower parts also get enough light, and the hedge will be dense all
the way down to the ground�
• If the hedge is 1 metre high, the top should be 20 cm narrower than the base (10 cm narrower
on each side)�
