4.1 Cutting Season
Observe country-specific or municipal rules and
regulations for cutting hedges.
Do not use your hedge trimmer during rest peri‐
ods customary in the neighborhood.
4.2 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.
4.3 Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage can – they
can be composted.
4.4 Preparations
► Adjustable gearbox: Set cutter bar to required
angle.
► Remove the blade scabbard.
► Start the engine.
► If you use a harness: Put on the harness and
attach it to the machine.
4.5 Working Techniques
4.5.1 Horizontal Cut (with cutter bar at an
angle)
Cutting close to the ground from a standing posi‐
tion, e.g. low shrubs.
Swing the cutter bar up and down as you move
along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting
blades, do not rest the cutter bar on the ground.
