OPERATION
CUTTING
• Adjust the handle so that it fits the intended cut and start
the product as described.
• Cut and remove branches exceeding the cutting capacity
of this product using a proper pruner before operation.
• Move the cutting device lightly through the cutting surface
in a sweeping motion following the shape of the hedge
or shrub. A slight tilt downwards of the cutting device in
the direction of motion is recommended for optimum
cutting performance.
• Do not to rush and do not attempt to cut too much with one
stroke of the cutting device.
• First cut both sides from the bottom cutting upwards to the
top. This will prevent any of the cuttings falling into
the path of the area still to be cut (see Fig. 9).
• After cutting the sides proceed to the top (see Fig. 10).
NOTE: Try to keep the cutting device angled at approximately
15° to the cutting surface.
• Cut in a number of stages if the area being cut is
particularly long to achieve a better result; smaller cuttings
will allow for easy composting.
NOTE: When shaping it is advisable to achieve a trapezoidal
shape (see Fig. 11). This is where the bottom is wider than the
top. A trapezoidal cut corresponds to the natural growth of
plants and results in optimal hedge growing, as it will expose
more light to the lower end of the hedge.
