Stihl HLA 65 Instruction Manual page 45

Vertical Cut (with cutter bar at an angle)
Cutting without standing directly next to
the hedge, e.g. flowerbed between
operator and hedge.
Swing the cutter bar up and down in an
arc as you move along the hedge – use
both sides of the cutting blades.
HLA 65, HLA 85
Vertical Cut (with straight cutter bar)
Extra long reach without the need for
other aids.
Swing the cutter bar up and down in an
arc as you move along the hedge – use
both sides of the cutting blades.
Overhead Cut (with cutter bar at an
angle)
Hold the hedge trimmer vertically and
swing it in an arc to make maximum use
of its reach.
WARNING
Any working position above head height
is tiring. To minimize the risk of
accidents, work in such positions for
short periods only. Set angle of
adjustable cutter bar to maximum so that
the unit can be held in a lower, less tiring
position (with shoulder strap) while still
providing adequate reach.
