b.  Cutting techniques

 

Move the vertical section of the electric hedge trimmer evenly forward or do curved movements up 

and down.   

 

In order to keep long straight lines, we recommend stretching cords. 

 

It is recommended to cut hedges  into trapezoidal shape to avoid lower branches getting naked. 

Doing  so  corresponds  to  the  natural  growth  of  plants  and  hedges  can  thrive  optimally.  Cutting 

reduces  new  annual  shoots,  so  a  dense  branching  and  a  good  sight  protection  need  to  be 

considered.   

 

Cut the edges of a hedge first. Move the hedge trimmer to cut the part which grows greatly from 

bottom  to top.  If  you  cut  from  top  to  bottom,  the  thinner  branches  will  move  to  the  outside;  thin 

places or holes may arise.   

 

Then cut the top of the hedge, just like a roof or round shape.   

 

Trim out the young plants to the desired shape. The main stem should be intact and remained until 

the hedge reaches the proposed height. All other shoots can be cut at half.

 

c.  Safe working 

 

To  guarantee  a  safe  working,  put  the  tool  in  a  position  of  60º  ±10,  as  described  in  below 

illustration. 

 

Never use the electric hedge trimmer when you are standing on a ladder or a stable ground.   

 

Do  not  begin  to  cut  without  enough  preparation.  Otherwise  it  could  lead  to  danger  to  you  or 

others.
