Cutting C D E
Cutting the top of the hedge C
- To cut the hedge top, perform swinging/sweeping
movements to the left and right using the hedge
trimmer.
- For optimum cutting results, maintain the cutting
blade in a slightly inclined position in the direction
of the cutting movement.
Cutting the hedge sides D
- If the hedge sides are to be cut, start at the bottom
part of the hedge and cut upwards.
- For optimum cutting results, maintain the cutting
blade in a slightly inclined position in the direction
of the cutting movement.
- Cut the sides of the hedge so that the hedge nar-
rows towards the top. This ensures uniform hedge
growth.
Cutting tips
- Please remember the breeding season of birds!
- The ideal shape for hedge cutting is trapezoidal,
which allows enough light and air to reach all parts
of the hedge E .
- To promote thick growth in young hedges new
shoots should only be shortened by half.
- If the hedge has already reached your desired
height, now shoots can be completely removed.
- To obtain a uniform hedge height, you can tension
a guide line at the desired height and then cut
along this line.
