WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Always cut the two sides of a hedge first, fol-
lowed by the top. This prevents cut material
from falling into areas that you have not trim-
med yet (5).
Hedges should always be trimmed into a
trapezoidal shape (tapering toward the top).
This prevents the leaves on the lower bran-
ches from being shaded out
Make sure the motor is stopped before you
