Working with the hedge trimmer
Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on a safe

trimmer when cutting so that it cannot be caught by the
knives.
Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer can

be guided forward and backward or by oscillating
movements from one to another side?
At first cut the sides of the hedge

and then the upper edge.
 Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
 Cut the hedge in trapezium shape.
 Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when
you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.
 The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood's type,
age, moisture and hardness.

Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears
to your desired length before trimming the hedge.
 Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large
portion of the hedge.

degrees and guide the hedge trimmer horizontally in a
pendular movement to the hedge edge.
