Hold the hedge trimmer vertically and swing it in
an arc to make maximum use of its reach.
WARNING
Any working position above head height is tiring.
To minimize the risk of accidents, work in such
positions for short periods only. Set angle of
adjustable cutter bar to maximum so that the unit
can be held in a lower, less tiring position (with
shoulder strap) while still providing adequate
reach.
4.5.5 Horizontal Cut (with straight cutter bar)
Hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0° to 10° as
you swing the hedge trimmer horizontally.
Swing the cutter bar in an arc towards the out‐
side of the hedge so that the cuttings are swept
to the ground.
Recommendation: Only cut hedges that are no
more than chest height.
