3. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH– (Fig.H) – A wide,
sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through the
twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the
blade, in the direction of motion gives the bestcutting.

stems greater than 5/8 in. (16mm). Use the trimmer
only for cutting normal shrubbery found around
