distance from the body.

hedge trimmer when cutting so that it cannot be caught by
the knives.
Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer can
be guided forward and backward or by oscillating
movements from one to another side?
At first cut the sides of the hedge and then the upper
edge.
Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
Cut the hedge in trapezium shape.
