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) .
