WORKING TECHNIQUES
◾
Horizontal Cutting (with cutting blade at an angle):
Cut close to the ground from a standing position, e.g.
low shrubs.
Swing the cutting blade up and down as you move
along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting blades,
do not rest the cutter blade on the ground (Fig. H).
◾
Horizontal Cutting (with straight cutting blade)
Hold the cutting blade at an angle of 0° to 10° as
you swing the hedge trimmer horizontally. Swing the
cutting blade in an arc towards the outsides of the
hedge so that the cuttings are swept to the ground
(Fig. I, J & K).
Recommendation: Only cut hedges that are no more
than chest height in this working position.
◾
Vertical Cutting (with cutting blade at an angle):
Cutting without standing directly next to the hedge,
e.g. flowerbed between operator and hedge.
In this cutting position, for your better control of the
hedge trimmer, it is recommended that connect the
hedge trimmer with the power head at the side-
cutting position (see Fig. E).
Swing the cutting blade up and down in an arc as
you move along the hedge – use both sides of the
cutting blade (Fig. L).
◾
Vertical Cutting (with straight cutting blade):
Extra long reach without the need for other aids.
Swing the cutting blade up and down in an arc as
you move along the hedge – use both sides of the
cutting blade (Fig. M).
◾
Overhead Cutting (with cutting blade at an angle)
Hold the hedge trimmer vertically and swing it in an
arc to make maximum use of its reach (Fig. N). For
extreme high hedge, the extension pole is suitable for
aids in trimming.
WARNING:
Any working position above head height
is tiring. To minimize the risk of accidents, work in such
positions for short periods only. Set angle of adjustable
cutting blade to maximum so that the tool can be held in
a lower, less tiring position (with shoulder strap) while still
providing adequate reach.
