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.
If the hedge is wide, cut it in several
passes – one hand on the front switch
lever – one hand on the control handle.
To extend your reach, hold the control
handle with one hand and operate the
auxiliary switch at the rear of the control
handle with the other hand.
