2.TRIMMING NEW GROWTH – (Figure 5) A wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion gives the best cutting.

Manual background CAUTION: Do not cut stems greater than 3/4 inch (19mm). Use the trimmer

only for cutting normal shrubbery around houses and buildings.

3.LEVEL HEDGES (Figure 6) – To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.

4.SIDE TRIMMING HEDGES (Figure 7) – Hold the trimmer as shown and begin at the bottom and sweep up.
