1. Always inspect the area for foreign objects (i.e. metal, concrete, posts, etc.) before trimming.

2. Please be aware that the recommended maximum diameter of cut is:
i. Max - 15mm
ii. Midi - 10mm

3. To trim long stalks growing parallel with the surface of the hedge, move the head down in the opposite direction to the growth.

4. When trimming the side of the hedge, we recommend a pendulum or vertical sweeping action, ensuring the flat underside of the machine is level with the surface of the hedge.

5. For a tighter professional finish, bury the head of the machine into the hedge to the desired depth, working the machine upwards.

6. The Garden Groom is self-supporting and as you layer down, it will find last years growth.

7. Regularity of cut -After using the Garden Groom and arriving at your preferred hedge length, we strongly recommend you use your Garden Groom 2/3 times per year, as regular use will ensure a better, tighter finish. The more often you use your Garden Groom, the quicker the task will become.
