Cutting techniques
Before operating the product: Use branch
clippers to cut away thick branches.
The safety knife bar
both directions.
Vertical cutting: Move the product uniformly
forward or up and down (Fig. E).
Horizontal cutting:
–
Tilt the product so that the safety blade
[ 2 ]
shaft is pointing downwards by
approx. 0 to 10° in cutting direction.
With the product in this position,
move the product horizontally — not
downwards (Fig. H).
–
Move the product in a sickle-shaped
movement to the edge of the hedge, so
that cut branches fall to the ground.
To produce long straight lines: Place
guiding cords as an aid for orientation.
Cutting shaped hedges
Cut hedges in a trapezoidal shape, in order
to prevent stripping off the lower branches
(Fig. G). This corresponds to natural plant
growth and allows the hedge to thrive.
When cutting, only reduce new annual
growth. This facilitates a dense branching.
Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do this,
move the product in the direction of growth
from bottom to top. If you cut down from
the top, the thinner branches will move out,
which may result in some areas having
sparse growth or holes.
Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a
flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape
(Fig. F).
