Trimming of hedges
- Young shoots are best cut in a scythe movement.
- Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a sawing
movement.
- Branches, which are too thick for the hedge trimmer,
should be cut with a saw.
- Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a taper.
In order to achieve an even height
- Fix a guide line at the required height.
- Cut evenly over this guide line.
Take care to have a secure and safe standing position
when working with your hedge shears in order to avoid
slipping and injury. Always keep the shearing blades
away from your body.
