Abstract: A hedge cutter having at least two cutting bars, movable relatively of each other and the cutting bars each have cutting edges, at least a part of which are provided with denticulations. Preferably, the cutting edge of each cutting bar is inclined at an angle running obliquely outwardly from the surface of each cutting bar with a cutting angle between substantially 30° and 50°. The opposed cutting teeth of the cutting bars may be arranged symmetrically, asymmetrically or anti-symmetrically.
