Garden Volume Bag GG01 Manual

Your Volume Bag Attachment

The volume bag attachment is supplied fully assembled, (see Fig 1.)

Check the assembly for damage and ensure all the component parts are in perfect condition and firmly connected together before proceeding.

Preparing your Volume Bag

Lay the hose, extension tube and bag out in a straight line adjacent to the hedge to be trimmed, positioning the bag behind the anticipated direction of progress. Ensure the hose is not twisted and the bag is sitting square on its flat base.

Attach the extension tube (Fig. 2) to your Garden Groom as illustrated (Fig. 3), by offering the inlet of the tube to the exhaust of the Groom. Lift the back of the tube up to the underside of the machine, ensuring the interlock peg is aligned with the interlock switch, in the same way as the conventional container.

Secure the tube with the retaining clip.

Plug your Garden Groom into the mains electrical supply and switch on.

Your Garden Groom should now be ready for use. If however it does not operate, check the interlock peg is correctly aligned with the switch and the retaining clip is firmly in place. If the problem persists, refer to Troubleshooting page at the back of the Garden Groom Manual.

Use of your Volume Bag Attachment

Start up the Groom in the normal manor by operating the main switch and any of the other three switches on the front handle. The flexible hose and volume bag will inflate, providing When the bag is sufficiently full, unzip the flap at the rear and pour the shredded material into an appropriate receptacle or onto a compost area.

As progress is made, to avoid any restriction of movement and strain on the tube/hose coupling, occasionally pull the bag along by the hose 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 necessary to periodically shake the debris down the hose to ensure smooth conveyance of material into the volume bag.

Working from a ladder

When working from a ladder always ensure it is stable on solid ground and never overreach.

Take care when positioning the ladder there is sufficient freedom of movement for the mains cable and the flexible tube.

Always ensure the position of the ladder, bag and hose do not cause a potential tripping hazard or create any restriction of movement during the hedge trimming operation.

Storage

Ensure the tube, hose and bag are completely free of waste material before storing away.

Store in a dry clear place free of hazards that could cause damage to any of the component parts.

Safety

Check periodically there are no breaks or damage to the volume bag assembly.

The Garden Groom should never be used without the extension tube or hose in position.
Never insert your hand up the extension tube.

Always unplug your Garden Groom from the mains electrical supply before carrying out any maintenance.

The three component parts of the Volume Bag Attachment have been designed for easy detachment.

If the extension tube is damaged simply detach the hose by untying the cord. If the hose is damaged unzip the coupling at the bag and untie the extension tube. For volume bag damage simply unzip the hose.
