OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. Tips for optimum use
• Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt the tool
(up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade tips
point slightly toward the hedge. This will cause the blades
to cut more effectively. Hold the tool at the desired angle
and move it steadily along the line of cut. The double-sided
blade allows you to 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 guideline, cutting just above
it.
•
growth. Younger stems move outward when the blade
cuts downward, causing shallow patches in the hedge.
• 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.
