• In case of vertical cutting, move the head hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped movement to
the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall to the ground.
• In order to achieve long straight lines, the placing of tensioned guiding cords is recommended.
Reversible cutter bar allows you to cut both ways uniformly forward or up and down in an
arc movement.
• In case of horizontal cutting, movement to the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall
to the ground.
• In order to achieve long straight lines, the placing of tensioned guiding cords is recommended.
CUTTING SHAPED HEDGES
• It is recommended that hedges be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent stripping off
of the lower branches. This corresponds to the natural plant growth and allows the hedge to
thrive optimally. During cutting, only the new annual growths are reduced and thus a dense
branching and a good screen will develop.
• Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do this, move the hedge trimmer in the direction of growth
from bottom to top. If you cut down from the top, the thinner branches will move out,
which may result in some areas having sparse growth or holes.
• Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape
• Trim young plants to the required shape. The main growth should remain undamaged until
the hedge has reached the planned height. All other shoots are lopped off to half size.
CARE OF FREE-GROWING HEDGES
Free-growing hedges are not shaped when cut, although they must be regularly maintained so
the hedge does not become too high.
CUTTING TIMES
Deciduous hedges: June and October
Hedges of coniferous wood: April and August
Evergreen conifer hedges: from May
