General operation : illustration 4.1 to 4.9
When older hedges are to be cut back a substantial amount, use pruning shears or some other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 8 mm diameter)
to the desired length before starting work with the grass shear. To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme edges of the hedge and then trim
along the length of the line. Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with any object made of hard material that could damage it, such as fencing
wire or metallic plant supports.
Cutting tips
1. Shaping: The hedge should be trimmed to achieve a trapezoidal form, it should widen toward the bottom at both sides. This improves the penetration of
light to the lower extremities. A general guideline is approximately 10cm slant for each 1 meter of hedge height.
2. Cutting sequence: First cut both sides, starting at the bottom and working to the top: this prevents cuttings from falling into the area where you are still to
work.
3. Trimming the top: Where the branches have grown extremely long, cut back the hedge in several stages. The shorter cuttings obtained are better suited for
composting.
