3. TRIMMING
NEW GROWTH -
(Figure 11) - 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.
ACAUTION:
Do not use the trimmer for
cutting stems greater than its capacity.
Use the trimmer only for cutting normal
shrubbery found around houses and
buildings.
