Cutting Season
Observe country-specific or municipal 
rules and regulations for cutting hedges.
Do not use your power tool during other 
people's rest periods.
Preparations
Use lopping shears to cut out thick 
branches first.
Cutting Sequence
Cut the sides of the hedge first, then the 
top.
If a radical cut is necessary, cut a little at 
a time in several stages.
Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage 
can – they can be composted!
Working Techniques
Vertical cut
Swing the cutting blade from the bottom 
upwards in an arc – lower the nose of the 
blade, move along the hedge and then 
swing the blade up again in an arc.
Horizontal cut
Hold the cutting blade at an angle of 0° 
to 10° as you swing the hedge trimmer 
horizontally, using both sides of the 
blade.
Swing the cutting blade in an arc 
towards the outside of the hedge so that 
the cuttings are swept to the ground.
