if the blades block while running or if they get
caught up in the hedge branches
It is recommended to trim the two vertical sides of the
hedge before trimming the top.
• Vertical trimming (Fig. 6)
Proceed to cut by using curved movements from the
bottom towards the top, keeping the blade as far from the
body as possible.
• Horizontal trimming (Fig. 7)
The best results will be obtained with the blade slightly
inclined (5° - 10°) in the direction you are cutting, proceed
with a curved movement, slowly and without interrup-
tions, especially in the case of very thick hedges.
