Tips on trimming hedges

The procedure described here can be used very often and

makes working easier. If a hedge has to be cut back very

substantially, it should be trimmed in two passes.

- First cut the hedge to the desired height (fig. G). With

practice, it is possible to remove cut material from the

hedge with a swinging motion. To get a straight cut,

stretch a string along the hedge at the desired height.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged

before attempting to perform inspection and

maintenance. Always wear protective gloves!

STOP

Blade maintenance

After operation, clean off the blade (both sides) with a stiff

brush (fig. K). Then wipe the blades with a cloth and coat

them with light machine oil.

The tool will stop when the carbon brushes wear to a certain

length. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be

replaced.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other

maintenance or adjustment should be performed by MAKITA

Authorized or Factory Service Centres, always using MAKITA

replacement parts.

- Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape (about 10 cm / 4"

in at the top for every 1 m / 3’3" of height), cutting from

bottom to top (H). In this way you avoid cut material falling

down into the area not yet cut.

- Round off the top edges of the hedge (I), and finally trim

the bottom edges back somewhat (J).
