3.6 Working Technique
3.6.1 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.
Any working position above head height is tiring.
To minimize the risk of accidents, work in such
positions for short periods only.

3.6.2 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.
