Use the power tool for cutting in either direction in
a slow, sweeping action from side to side.
•
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
action so that the stems are fed directly into the
cutting blade.

•
Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to
trim stems that are too large.
•
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your
hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the
desired height. Trim the hedge just above the
guide line of string.
