NOTICE:
For new growth, a wide sweeping is suitable
for the stems fed directly into the cutting blade. For older
growth, a sawing movement is good for trimming the
thicker stems. A non-powered hand saw or pruning saw is
suggested for trimming the large stems first.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the
cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best
cutting results. For better cutting effect, you might as well
use the string to guide the hedge level as Fig. G shown.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards as Fig. H shown.
Sawing Function
Although the blade gap allow wood to be cut up to Ø22mm,
the tip of the blade is designed to cut wood up to Ø26mm
(Fig. I). If a radical cut is necessary, cut a little at a time in
several stages.
Tip Protector
The tip protector (Fig. A-8) makes cutting near the ground
or along walls easier while protecting the special cutters
from damage.
