,C. TRIMMING METHODS
NOTE'. Always keep the extension cord behind you
when using the unit. Never drape the cord ever e
hedge or bush being trimmed. If the cord gets cut
or otherwise damaged, unplug it from the power
source before inspection or repair is performed.
Do not try to cut stems larger than 3/8"
thick,
1. TOP CUTTING
a. For New or Young Growth:
When tMmming new or young growth, use a
wide. sweeping motion. Figure 7 A. A slight,
downward tilt of the cutting blades in the di-
rection of motion gives the best cutting results.
b. For Older, Thicker Growth:
Trim "older,thickergrowth by usinga sawing
motion. Figure 7 B.
c. For Precise, Level Cuts:
Ifa precisely level cut is desired, stretch a piece
of string across the length of the hedge. Guide
the cutting blades slowly across the top of the
string. Figure 8.
2. SIDE CUTTING
When trimming_he sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upward, tapering the hedge in-
ward at the top. Figure 8 (inset). Cuttingin this
method will leave the body of the hedge narrower
at the top. This shape will expose more of the
hedge, resulting in more uniform growth.
