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.
Cutting.Shaped.Hedges:
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.first..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.flat.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.
Care.of.Free-Growing.Hedges:
Free-growing.hedges.are.not.shaped.when.
cut,.although.they.must.be.regularly.main-
tained.so.the.hedge.does.not.become.too.
high.
Cleaning and
Maintenance

scribed.in.this.manual.should.always.
