PREPARATION FOR CUTTING

Refer to "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" earlier in this manual for appropriate safety
equipment.
1. Adjust the cutting blade to the desired working position.
2. Remove the blade guard from the blade.

WORKING TECHNIQUES

Horizontal Cutting (with cutting head at
an angle)
Cut close to the ground from a standing
position, e.g. for trimming low shrubs.
Swing the blade right and left as you
move along the hedge-use both sides
of the blades and do not rest the cutter
blade on the ground (Fig. 7).
Horizontal Cutting (with straight
cutting head))
Hold the blade at an angle of 0° as
you slowly swing the hedge trimmer
horizontally. Swing the blade in an arc
towards the outsides of the hedge so that
the cuttings are swept to the ground
(Fig. 8).
Recommendation: Cut hedges that are
no more than chest height in this working
position.
