 Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do
not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves. Hold
the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always
use the hedge trimmer properly.
 Keep from trimming too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and
slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
 Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the
blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace of
your work.
 When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are
fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will
be trimmed most easily by using a sawing movement.
 Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4 in. thick. Use a non-powered
hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (see Fig. 7).
A slight downward tilt of the cutting
blades in the direction of motion gives
the best cutting results. If desired, you
can use a string to help guide you as you
cut your hedge level. Decide how high
you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece
of string along the hedge at this height.
Trim the hedge just above this guide line.
