• Avoid overstraining the equipment
during 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:
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.
• 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
It is recommended
that hedges be cut
in a trapezoidal
shape, in order to
prevent stripping
off of the lower
branches. This cor-
responds to the
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 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.
