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.
During cutting, only the new annual
growths are reduced and thus a dense
branching and a good screen will develop.
1. 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 thin-
ner branches will move out, which may
result in some areas having sparse
growth or holes.
2. Cut the top edge, according to taste,
in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded
shape.
3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-
main undamaged 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
maintained so the hedge does not be-
come too high.
