•
Always continue moving away from the power
outlet as you work. Decide on the direction of
cut before you start working.
•
Make sure that the extension cable stays out
of the work area. Never route the cable over
the hedge where it could easily by caught by
the cutter blades.
•
Avoid subjecting the hedge trimmer to exces-
sive stress while you are working.
•
Cutting hedges in the shape of a trapezoid is
recommended to prevent the lower branches
from going bare. This corresponds to natural
plant growth and allows your hedge to flou-
rish. If you only cut back the new seasonal
shoots when you are trimming, you will have a
dense hedge which provides good privacy.
