Tips on Cutting
Hold the tool away from yourself using both hands, and stand in a secure and stable position.
When cutting move steadily along the line of cut, so that the stems are fed directly into the
cutter blades. The double edge cutting blade enables cutting in either a side to side action or
an up and down motion. Cut the sides of the hedge first then cut the top.
To keep the sides flat, cutting upwards with the growth is recommended. To reach a level
finish, fasten a piece of string along the length of the hedge. Cut the hedge just above the
string to give an even height.
Always take care to avoid cutting into objects such as wire, which could cause damage to the
cutting blades and drive mechanism.
NOTE: the trimmer is fitted with a self-resetting protective cut-out. This will stop the
trimmer if the motor becomes overloaded. If this occurs, wait a few seconds for the
cut-out to reset and then use lighter cuts.
