Please also note that is may not be legal to trim hedges year round
in your area for the protection of animals.
Before cutting, inspect the area that the hedge trimmer will be used
in. Make sure not to touch hard objects such fences, poles, stones
etc. This may cause damages to the cutting bar.
If the hedge trimmer becomes jammed, never attempt to remove
cut material from the blade bar while the engine is running. First
stop the engine and then carefully remove the obstruction.
Do not press down the hedge trimmer while cutting. Always avoid
overloading the engine. Do not try to cut thick branches or to force
the blade bar through the surface to be cut.
Hints on Trimming Hedges
If a hedge has to be cut back very substantially, trim the hedge in
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
10 – 15° to the hedge in order to get a straight cut.
Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape cutting from
the bottom to the top.
Round the top edges of the hedge.
Finally trim the bottom edges back. Appropriately
dispose of cut materials.
