OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT TIPS FOR TRIMMING HEDGES
·
Assume secure posture and hold trimmer
with both hands. If using a stepladder make
sure it is securely located - if working high tie
the ladder to the thicker inner branches of the
hedge.
·
Ensure no people or animals are in the work
area.
CUTTING SEQUENCE
First trim the sides from the bottom upwards.
This prevents any debris from falling into the
area which has yet to be cut (E). Try to keep
the blade angled at approximately 5
work surface; this will improve the cutting
efficiency of the trimmer (F). Then cut the top
of the hedge. If the hedge is very long, cut in
stages rather than trying to cut in one go (G).

CUTTING / SHAPING
We recomend cutting the hedge into a
trapezoidal shape, which is wider at the bottom
than the top. This will improve light penetration
(see H).

OPTIMAL TRIMMING TIMES
Green leaf hedges are best trimmed between
June and October; evergreens should be
trimmed in April and August, while conifers
and other fast growing shrubs can be trimmed
every 6 - 8 weeks.

GENERAL INFORMATION

When older hedges need to be cut back
substantially, cut the thicker branches back
with pruning shears before using the trimmer.
Ensure that the blade does not come into
contact with wire of other metal objects.
