Q
NOTE
Try to keep the cutting device angled at
u
approximately 15° to the cutting surface.
When shaping it is advisable to achieve a
u
trapezoidal shape (see Fig. I). A trapezoidal
cut corresponds to the natural growth of
plants and results in optimal hedge growth,
as it will expose more light to the lower end
of the hedge.
1.
Adjust the pole extension to the required
length as described above.
2.
Cut and remove branches exceeding the

After cutting the sides proceed to the top.
7.
When cutting wide hedges with the cutting
area in sight move the cutting blade lightly
through the cutting surface in a sweeping
motion following the shape of the hedge
or shrub. A slight tilt downwards of the
cutting device in the direction of motion
is recommended for optimum cutting
performance (see Fig. K).
8.
Move the product with slow motion forward
when cutting higher hedge and the cutting
area out of sight (see Fig. L).
9.
Cut in a number of stages if the area being
cut is particularly long to achieve a better
result; smaller cuttings will allow for easy
composting.
10. Lubricate the internal surfaces of the blade
