10.1
Cutting techniques
• Cut out thick branches beforehand with pruning
shears.
• The double-sided cutter bar allows cutting in both
directions, or using a pendulum movement, swing-
ing the trimmer back and forth.
• When cutting vertically, move the product smoothly
forwards or up and down in an arc.
• When cutting horizontally, move the product in a
crescent shape towards the edge of the hedge so
that cut branches fall to the ground.
• To get long straight lines, it is advisable to stretch
guide strings.
10.2
Pruned hedges
It is advisable to cut hedges in a trapezoidal shape to
prevent the lower branches from becoming bare. This
corresponds to natural plant growth and allows hedges
to thrive. When pruning, only the new annual shoots
are reduced, so that a dense branching and a good
screen is formed.
• Trim the sides of a hedge first. To do this, move the
product with the direction of growth from bottom to
top. If you cut from the top down, thinner branches
move outwards and this can create thin spots or
holes.
• Then cut the top edge straight, roof-shaped or
round, depending on your taste.
• Trim even young plants to the desired shape. The
main shoot should remain undamaged until the
hedge has reached the planned height. All other
shoots are cut in half.
10.3
Maintaining free-growing hedges
Although free-growing hedges are not pruned, they
must be maintained regularly to prevent the hedge from
becoming too tall.
10.4
Cut at the right time
• Leaf hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from
May
Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the
hedge cut or leave this area out if this is the case.
