Cutting Season
Observe country-specific or municipal
rules and regulations for cutting hedges.
Do not use your power tool during other
people's rest periods.
Preparations
Use lopping shears to cut out thick
branches first.
Cutting Sequence
Cut the sides of the hedge first, then the
top.
If a radical cut is necessary, cut a little at
a time in several stages.
Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage
can – they can be composted!
Working Techniques
Vertical cut
Swing the cutting blade from the bottom
upwards in an arc – lower the nose of the
blade, move along the hedge and then
swing the blade up again in an arc.
Horizontal cut
Hold the cutting blade at an angle of 0°
to 10° as you swing the hedge trimmer
horizontally, using both sides of the
blade.
Swing the cutting blade in an arc
towards the outside of the hedge so that
the cuttings are swept to the ground.
