in the bushes or hedges.

There are different cutting techniques and certain seasons to be
observed when trimming hedges or bushes. For detailed infor-

Please note the local rest periods when working with the hedge

two passes.

First cut the hedge to the desired height and stretch a
string along the hedge at the desired height. Guide
the blades of the hedge trimmer at an angle of
