NOTICES AND TIPS FOR HEDGE TRIMMER
• Find safe footing, operate the device with both
hands and turn it on.
• Cut the hedge from both sides and start at the bot­
tom. In this way, you can prevent cutting-waste fall­
ing into the area that still needs to be cut.
• Guide the device gently through the area of the
hedge.
• Do not attempt to cut too deeply.
• Then cut the upper part of the hedge.
• For older hedges which need more pruning, cut
stronger branches and twigs with loppers first be­
fore cutting the hedge with the device.
