9.7 HEDGE CUTTING TECHNIQUES
Vertical Cutting – Fig.14a
The best practice is to cut the front and side of a
hedge first, before finishing with the top.
– Set the cutting head at 90º either left or right as
applicable for the cut required.
– Make large sweeping arcs with the cutting head,
using both sides of the blade to trim material
from the hedge.
Stand back at regular intervals. What ‘looks’ to be a
straight and level cut from close up will look quite
different from a distance.
Horizontal Cutting – Fig.14b
The final stage in shaping the top of a hedge.
– Set the cutting head straight.
– Make level arcs, so as to encourage the
trimmings to drop to the floor .
Warning! Do not attempt to cut a hedge higher than
chest height without using a safe platform.
Warning! If working on a platform, do not attempt to
stretch or over-reach.
When cutting with the blade set straight, tilt the
cutting side of the blades toward the hedge by
approximately 0 – 10º.
This hedge trimmer will enable you to cut or trim
bushes and hedges. Branches which are too thick
for the hedge trimmer, should be cut with an
appropriate tool. Older and thicker hedges are best
cut in a sawing action. The optimum cutting angle
between the blade and the hedge is between 15 –
30º.
