‡ It is advisable to cut a hedge from the bottom up sweeping the cutter bar in an arc as you
move along the hedge. The double edged cutter blades allows use by left or right handed
operators.
‡ To cut the top of the hedge, hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0-10 degrees as you swing
the hedge trimmer horizontally. Sweep the cutter bar in an arc towards the outside of the
hedge so that the cuttings are swept onto the ground.
‡ Pay special attention when cutting hedges which are laid out along a wire fence. If the
blades make contact with the wire damage may occur.
‡ Do not use the hedge trimmer for long periods of time - take a break of 10-15 mins after
every 50 mins of use or after using one tank of fuel.
‡ If the blades hit a stone, wire or other foreign object, turn off the engine and check for any
damage to the blades immediately. Replace any damaged blades before continuing.
