Trimming shaped hedges:
It is advisable to trim hedges in a trapezoi-
dal shape to prevent the lower branches
from becoming bare (fig.
sponds to the plant's natural growth and
allows hedges to thrive optimally. Only the
new annual shoots are reduced during
cutting to allow dense branching and good
protection of privacy.
1. First trim the sides of the hedge. To do
so, move the hedge trimmer from bot-
tom to top in the direction of growth. If
you cut downwards, thinner branches
will move outwards which may cause
thin patches or gaps.
2. Then trim the top edge as desired:
straight, pitch-shaped or round.
3. Trim plants while young to achieve the
desired shape. The main shoot should
be left intact until the hedge has
achieved the intended height. All other
shoots are to be cut in half.
Caring for free-growing hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not be trimmed
into shapes but still need to be regularly
maintained to ensure they do not become
too tall.

Change your working position regu-
larly. Prolonged use of the device can
lead to blood circulation disorders in
the hands caused by vibration (Ray-
naud's syndrome). You can however
extend your machine use time by we-
aring appropriate gloves or by taking
regular breaks. Please ensure that if
you are susceptible to poor circulation,
low outside temperatures or strong
gripping forces while working, this may
reduce the length of time for which you
are able to work.
