Trimming Techniques
To trim your hedge in a straight line, try using string. Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the
appropriate height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string.
Do not try to trim hedges which are above your normal reach. You must hold the trimmer with both hands at
all times while operating.
Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed
when shaped this way and its growth will be more uniform.
When trimming new growth, use a wide, sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the cutter
blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
Do not try to cut stems that are larger than 3/8 inch which will be too thick and too large to feed into the
cutter blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to cut the larger stems.
