Trimming hedges |
|
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. | |
• Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade | |
tips point slightly towards the hedge | H |
(fig. H). This will cause the blades to | |
cut more effectively. |
|
• Start by trimming the top of the hedge. |
|
Hold the tool at the desired angle and |
|
move it steadily along the line of cut. |
|
The |
|
cut in either direction. |
|
• In order to obtain a very straight cut, |
|
stretch a piece of string along the |
|
length of the hedge at the desired |
|
height. Use the string as a guide line, |
|
cutting just above it. |
|
• In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the growth (fig. I). | |
Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts downwards, | |
causing shallow patches in the hedge. | I |
• Take care to avoid any foreign objects. | |
Especially avoid hard objects such as |
|
metal wire and railings, as these could |
|
damage the blades. |
|
• Regularly oil the blades. |
