5. EMPTYING CONTAINER
For speed of operation, hold the Garden Groom
®
trimmer by the front handle, unclip and withdraw the con-
tainer from the main body and deposit the waste material into an appropriate receptacle. To re-engage,
push the front of the container over the exhaust, raise the rear of the container, ensuring alignment with
clip, push clip forward with palm of hand to lock.
NOTE: The interlock peg MUST be connected to the interlock switch and the main switch powerlight must
be lit for the machine to function.
4. TRIMMING EXTRA LONG GROWTH
The Garden Groom
®
trimmer has been designed to trim hedge growth of 7 inches in length or less. The
Garden Groom
®
trimmer will trim exceptionally long growth, but this operation will inevitably result in a
lower rate of capture (on vertical cuts only), due to the sheer dynamics and volume of material to be man-
aged.
To trim exceptionally long growth (within the recommended cutting diamter), we advise the follow
ing techniques: Trim the growth in several stages layering down until you arrive at the desired level.
In some circumstances you may wish to adopt a vertical technique (see fig 2 below), bringing the Garden
Groom
®
trimmer down onto the growth in a cvertical action.
