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

doublesided 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.

• In order to obtain at sides, cut upward with the

growth. Younger stems move outwards 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.
