 Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do
not overreach . Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves . Hold
the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you . Always
use the hedge trimmer properly .
 Keep from trimming too much at one time . This can cause the blades to bind and
slow, reducing the cutting efficiency .
 Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery . This can cause the
blades to bind and slow down . If the blades slow down, reduce the pace of
your work .
 When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are
fed directly into the cutting blade . Older growth will have thicker stems and will
be trimmed most easily by using a sawing movement .
 Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4 in . thick . Use a non-powered
hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems .
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (see Fig . 7) .
A slight downward tilt of the cutting
blades in the direction of motion gives
the best cutting results . If desired, you
can use a string to help guide you as you
cut your hedge level . Decide how high
you want the hedge . Then, stretch a piece
of string along the hedge at this height .
Trim the hedge just above this guide line .
