To help keep the hedge uniform and healthy (Fig. 5)
• Always trim the hedge so the branches are exposed to the air, sun, and
adequate moisture.
• Trim the top slightly narrower than the bottom, or trim the sides straight
up.
• Do not trim the hedge wider at the top than the bottom.
Do not use the hedge trimmer in rain or in wet locations, or
to cut wet hedges or shrubbery. Do not use the hedge trimmer if the blades
are bent. Wear non-slip footwear while
operating the hedge trimmer.
