In more detail . . .
NOTE: Always keep the cutting device (8) at an angle of approximately 15°
to the cutting surface.
> Cut and remove branches exceeding the cutting capacity of this equipment (28 mm)(28 mm)
using a proper pruner before operation.
> Adjust the rear handle (1) so that it ts the intended cut.
> Start the equipment as described. Press the throttle control lock-out (2), hold it
in position and then press the throttle control (3) to engage the cutter blades (9).
Operate the engine at full throttle to maintain a proper cutting speed.
> Move the cutting device (8) lightly through the cutting surface in a sweeping
motion following the shape of the hedge or shrub. A slight 15° tilt downwards of
the cutting device in the direction of motion is recommended for optimum cutting
performance.
> Do not rush and do not attempt to cut too much with one stroke of the cutting device.
> For vertical cuts, start the rst cut from the bottom cutting upwards to the top. This will
prevent any of the trimmings falling into the path of the area still to be cut (Fig. 20).
> After cutting the sides proceed to the top (Fig. 21). Try to keep the cutting device at
an angle of approximately 15° to the cutting surface.
> Cut in stages if the area being cut is particularly long to achieve a better result;
smaller trimmings will allow for easy composting.

NOTE: When shaping it is recommended to achieve a trapezoidal shape (Fig. 22).
A trapezoidal cut corresponds to the natural growth of plants and results in
optimal hedge growth, as it will expose more light to the lower end of the hedge.
