Electric Hedge Trimmer

WG216E WG216E.X

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of 

the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the 

best cutting results.

SIDE CUTTING (SEE Fig. F)

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the 

bottom and cut upwards, tapering the hedge inward 

at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, 

resulting in a more uniformed growth.
