Cutting Tips

Assume a secure position, using two hands to hold the hedge trimmer and switch on.
Trim both sides of the hedge, starting at the bottom. This prevents cuttings falling into the
area yet to be cut.
Pass the blade lightly through the surface of the hedge trimmer. Do not attempt to cut too
deep.
Trim the top of the hedge.
For older hedges that require cutting back substantially, use pruning shears to cut the
thicker branches and then finish the job with the hedge trimmer.
Never use the hedge trimmer without check the tightness of the bracket.
