USING THE GARDEN GROOM
®
PRO
NOTE: Either the main collection bag or the optional Mega bag accesory must be attached for the
Garden Groom
®
trimmer to operate.
1. SWITCH ARRANGEMENT
To operate the main switch and front switch, you must first push forward the safety switch.
2. HORIZONTAL TRIMMING (Top of Hedges)
Move the Garden Groom
®
trimmer in a sweeping pendulum motion from side to side. The flat underside
of the trimmer provides a natural guide, so the most inexperienced gardener can achieve excellent results.
The Garden Groom
®
trimmer is designed to cut up to 0.8” diameter of growth. Use on thicker material
may result in damage to the machine.
3. VERTICAL TRIMMING (Side of Hedge)
Move the Garden Groom
®
trimmer in a vertical sweeping motion, ensuring the flat underside of the
machine is level with the surface of the hedge. Tip: For a tighter professional finish, bury the head of the
machine into the hedge, to the desired depth, working the machine upwads.
See Fig. 2 (below). To trim
long stalks growing parallel with the surface of the hedge, move the head down in the opposite direction
to the growth
(Fig.3).
Please note: The capture rate of material is reduced when using this angle of cutting technique
(Fig.3).
