Working with the Hedge

Trimmer

During cutting work, ensure that no

contact is made with objects, e.g.

such as wire fencing or main plant

stems. This may result in damage to

the cutter bar.

• Switch off the equipment immedi-

ately in the event that the blades are

blocked by solid objects, pull out the

power plug then remove the object.

• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-

ing work.

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a

branch clippers.

• The double-sided cutter bar enables

cutting in both directions or, with a

swinging action, from one side to the

other.

• In case of vertical cutting, move the

hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up

and down in an arc movement.

• In case of horizontal cutting, move

the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped

movement to the edge of the hedge, so

that cut branches fall to the ground.

• In order to achieve long straight lines,

the placing of tensioned guiding cords

is recommended.

It is recommended

that hedges be cut in

a trapezoidal shape,

in order to prevent

stripping off of the

lower branches. This

corresponds to the

natural plant growth

and allows the hedge to thrive optimally. Dur-

ing cutting, only the new annual growths are

reduced and thus a dense branching and a

good screen will develop.

• Cut the sides of a hedge rst. To do this,

move the hedge trimmer in the direction

of growth from bottom to top. If you cut

down from the top, the thinner branches

will move out, which may result in some

areas having sparse growth or holes.

• Cut the top edge, according to taste,

in a at shape, roof shape or rounded

shape

• Trim young plants to the required shape.

The main growth should remain undam-

aged until the hedge has reached the

planned height. All other shoots are

lopped off to half size.

Free-growing hedges are not shaped when

cut, although they must be regularly main-

tained so the hedge does not become too

high.
