UTTING EDGES
If it is possible, clean up the cutting area
before to start with the use of the
equipment. Take away stones, glass
pieces, nails, metallic cable and any
objects that could be projected or got
caught into the cutting.
Using pruning shears, first prune out
branches of a diameter greater than 24
mm.
Young buds can be trimmed easily with a
scythe movement; the older and bigger
hedge can be trimmed easily with a
sawing movement.
Use the suggested trimming methods.
A trapezoidal section best
suits natural plant growth
and enables hedges to
thrive best.
Cut the sides of the edge first, starting
from the bottom and working up. Cut the
top level, slantwise or rounded according
to taste.
The safety cutter bar is provided with
rounded and offset cutting teeth to re-
duce the risk of injury. The additional im-
pact guard prevents unpleasant backlash
from contact with walls, fences, etc.

If hard objects become jammed in the cut-
