WORKING TECHNIQUES

◾
Horizontal Cutting (with blade at
an angle)
Cut close to the ground from a
standing position, e.g. for trimming
low shrubs.
Swing the blade right and left as you
move along the hedge – use both
sides of the blades and do not rest the
cutter blade on the ground (Fig. 9).
◾
Horizontal Cutting (with straight
blade)
Hold the blade at an angle of 0° to
10° as you slowly swing the hedge
trimmer horizontally. Swing the
blade in an arc towards the outsides
of the hedge so that the cuttings are
swept to the ground (Fig. 10).
Recommendation: Cut hedges that
are no more than chest height in
this working position.
◾
Vertical Cutting (with blade at an
angle)
This is useful when cutting without
standing directly next to the hedge,
e.g. , there is a flowerbed between
operator and hedge.
In this situation, it is best to connect
the hedge trimmer to the power
head in the side-cutting position (see Fig. 5).
Slowly swing the blade up and down in an arc as you move along the hedge –
use both sides of the cutting blade (Fig. 11).
