Hints for optimum use
Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt the tool

(up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade tips
point slightly towards the hedge (fig. D). This will cause the
blades to cut more effectively. Hold the tool at the desired
angle and move it steadily along the line of cut. The
double-sided blade allows you to cut in either direction.
In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of

string along the length of the hedge at the desired height.
Use the string as a guideline, cutting just above it (fig. E).

Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts
downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge (fig. F).
Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid

hard objects such as metal wire and railings, as these
could damage the blades (fig. G).
Regularly oil the blades.

Accessories
The performance of your tool depends on the accessory used.

ance of your tool. By using these accessories you will get the
very best from your tool.
