Using The Mega Bag Attachment
Start up the Garden Grooom
®
trimmer in the normal manner by operating the safety switch, main switch
and front handle. The flexible hose and Mega Bag will inflate, providing a clear passage for the debris to
flow from the Garden Groom
®
trimmer’s exhaust to the bag.
As progress is made, to avoid any restriction of movement and strain on the tube/hose coupling, grab the
hose and occasionally pull the bag along in advance of the cutting location.
During use, minor kinking of the hose is acceptable; however ensure the tube is not twisted as this will
restrict the flow of waste material
It will be becessary to periodically shake the debris down the hose to ensure smooth conveyance of mate-
rial into the Mega Bag. When the bag is sufficiently full unzip the flap at the rear of the bag and pour the
shredded material into an appropriate receptacle or onto a compost area.
Working From A Platform
When working from a platform, always ensure it is stable on solid ground and never overreach.
Take care when positioning the platform there is sufficient freedom of movement during the hedge trim-
ming operation.
Storage
Ensure the tube, hose and bag are completly free of waste material before storing away.
Store in a dry place free of hazards that could cause damage to any of the coponent parts.
Safety
Check periodically there are no breaks or damage to the Mega Bag assembly.
The Garden Groom
®
trimmer should never be used without the extension tube or hose position.
Never insert your hand up the extension tube.
Warning
Always unplug your Garden Groom
®
trimmer from the main electrical supply before performing any main-
tenance.
Damage
The three component parts of the Mega Bag attachement have been designed or easy detachment. If the
extension tube is damaged simply detach the hose by untying the hook and loop.
If the hose is damaged unzip the coupling at the bag and untie the extension tube for volume bag damage
simply unzip the hose.
