Trimming Techniques
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your
hedge level. Decide how high you want the
hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string along the
hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above
this guide line of string (Fig. 7).
EN-9
Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be
slightly narrower at the top as shown in Figure 8.
More of the hedge will be exposed to light when
shaped this way and its growth will be more
uniform.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
When trimming new growth, use a wide,
sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly
into the cutter blade. Older growth will have
thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by
using a sawing movement.
Do not try to cut stems that are larger than 3/8
in. thick or those obviously too large to feed into
the cutter blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to cut the larger stems.
