Vertical Cut (with cutter bar at an angle)
Cutting without standing directly next to 
the hedge, e.g. flowerbed between 
operator and hedge.
Swing the cutter bar up and down in an 
arc as you move along the hedge – use 
both sides of the cutting blades.
Vertical Cut (with straight cutter bar)
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.
Overhead Cut (with cutter bar at an 
angle)
Hold the hedge trimmer vertically and 
swing it in an arc to make maximum use 
of its reach.
WARNING
Any working position above head height 
is tiring. To minimize the risk of 
accidents, work in such positions for 
short periods only. Set angle of 
adjustable cutter bar to maximum so that 
the unit can be held in a lower, less tiring 
position (with shoulder strap) while still 
providing adequate reach.
