OPERATING TIPS
•To trim new growth, use a wide sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through the hedge or twigs. The most effective cutting is achieved with a slight downward tilt of the blade.
.o Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
Do not try to cut stems that are larger than 7/16 inches (11 mm)
thick. Use a
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and be more uniform (Fig. 5).
To trim the sides of hedges, hold the hedge trimmer at the bottom and sweep upwards.
