Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward
tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion
gives the best cutting results.
SIDE CuTTING (SEE F)
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at
the bottom and cut upwards, tapering the hedge
inward at the top. This shape will expose more of
the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth.
