Do not force the blades through dense
growth. If the blades slow down, then reduce your cutting
pace. Should the blades jam, release the trigger immediately.

shorter cuttings obtained are best suited for composting.

other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 0.3 in.

work with the hedge trimmer.
To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme
edges of the hedge and then trim along the length of the
line.
Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with any
object made of hard material that could damage it, such
as fencing wire or metallic plant supports.
Only use the grass shear blade for this

is unavoidable, then regularly interrupt by standing upright
and successively bending backwards several times.
