Cutting Season
Observe country-specific or municipal 
rules and regulations for cutting hedges.
Do not use your hedge trimmer during 
rest periods customary in the 
neighborhood.
Cutting Sequence
If a radical cut is necessary, cut a little at 
a time in several stages.
Use lopping shears to cut out thick 
branches first.
Cut the sides of the hedge first, then the 
top.

can – they can be composted.

Working Techniques

Extra long reach without the need for 
other aids.
Swing the cutter bar up and down in an 
arc as you move along the hedge – use 
both sides of the cutting blades.
Horizontal Cut
Hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0° to 
10° as you swing the hedge trimmer 
horizontally.
Swing the cutter bar in an arc towards 
the outside of the hedge so that the 
cuttings are swept to the ground.
Recommendation: Only cut hedges that 
are no more than chest high.
