Below you will find some hints on trimming hedges:

similar material. Make sure that there are no small animals hidden
in the bushes or hedges.
There are different cutting techniques and certain seasons to be
observed when trimming hedges or bushes. For detailed infor-
mation see appropriate technical literature.
Please note the local rest periods when working with the hedge
trimmer in order to avoid disturbances.

two passes.
First cut the hedge to the desired height and stretch a
string along the hedge at the desired height. Guide
the blades of the hedge trimmer at an angle of

Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape cutting from
the bottom to the top.
