CUTTING HEDGES
WHEN TO CUT
The ideal time to trim hedges varies by 
plant type, but it is generally a good 
practice to trim during periods of slow 
growth, after blooming is complete  
Consult with a local plant nursery for tips 
on trimming specific plants 
Observe all applicable national and 
municipal rules and regulations for 
cutting hedges 
BASIC CUTTING
 WARNING: ALWAYS BE SURE OF 
FOOTING AND HOLD THE HEDGE 
TRIMMER FIRMLY WITH BOTH 
HANDS WHILE THE MOTOR IS 
RUNNING. 
Check the hedge for foreign objects prior 
to cutting to avoid damaging the blades  
Remove any objects that may impede 
cutting 
Assume the proper grip and stance and 
start the hedge trimmer  Hold the hedge 
trimmer with the cutting blades angled 
5–10° toward the direction of the cut 
(Fig  16)  
IMPORTANT: THE CUTTING BLADES 
OCCASIONALLY BIND AND STOP 
MOVING WHEN MATERIAL BECOMES 
LODGED IN THE CUTTING BLADES 
OR IF CUTTING BLADES CONTACT 
A WIRE OR CHAIN-LINK FENCE. SEE 
“CORRECTING BLADE BIND” TO 
LEARN HOW TO FIX THIS. 
CUTTING SEQUENCE
If the hedge is well-trained, focus on 
trimming new growth until the hedge is 
in the desired shape 
Once any large branches are removed, 
use the hedge trimmer to trim the sides 
of the hedge to the desired length  Trim 
the top of hedge last after the sides are 
complete  
CUTTING VERTICALLY
When cutting the sides of the hedge, 
start at the bottom of the hedge  Hold 
the hedge trimmer with the cutting 
blades angled 5–10° toward the direction 
of the cut  Move down the line of the 
hedge, sweeping the hedge trimmer 
slowly up and down in a wide arc (Fig  17)
