• Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut)
so that the blade tips point slightly towards the hedge (FIG.14). This will cause the blades to
cut more effectively. Hold the tool at the desired angle and move it steadily along the line of cut.
The doublesided blade allows you to cut in either direction.
• In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of string along the length of the hedge at
the desired height. Use the string as a guideline, cutting just above it.
• In order to obtain at sides, cut upwards with the growth. Younger stems move outwards when
the blade cuts downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge (FIG.15)
• Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid hard objects such as metal wire and
railings, as these could damage the blades.
• Regularly oil the blades.
• Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves every year) in June and October.
• Trim evergreens in April and August.
• Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six weeks from May until October.
• Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves every year) in December and
March.
