   • Note: For older hedges that require cutting back substantially, use pruning shears or a suitable saw to cut the thicker branches, and then finish the job with the hedge trimmer.

Shaping

• Trim a hedge so that it is wider at the bottom than the top. This improves light penetration and promotes healthy growth.
• Narrow the hedge approximately 100mm for every metre in height.

Pruning

• For optimum trimming performance, guide the blade teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to the hedge.
• To achieve a hedge with a uniform height, it is recommended that you stretch a pieceof string along the edge of the hedge for guidance. Then simply cut away all twigs projecting above the line.
