Always use the hedge trimmerproperly.
Keep from trimming too much at one time. This can cause the blades to
bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause
the blades to bind and slow down. if the blades slow down, reduce the
pace of your work.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the
stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have
thicker stems and will be trimmed most easily by using a sawing
movement.
Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4 in. thick. Use a non-
powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
