Before cutting bushes, scrubs or hedges, remove thick branches or
similar material. Make sure that there are no small animals hidden
in the bushes or hedges.

There are different cutting techniques and certain seasons to be
observed when trimming hedges or bushes. For detailed infor-
mation see appropriate technical literature.

two passes.

string along the hedge at the desired height. Guide
the blades of the hedge trimmer at an angle of
10 – 15° to the hedge in order to get a straight cut.

Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape cutting from
the bottom to the top.
