For some models the auxiliary handle may need to be

attached. If the model needs the auxiliary handle attached,

please refer to theseinstructions.

1. To attach the auxiliary handle

, press in on the

auxiliary handle adjustment buttons on both sides

of the upper housing as shown in Figure E

2. Position the auxiliary handle as shown in Figure E .

Partially push the auxiliary handle on so it will hold the

buttons in when you release them with your hand.

3. Push the auxiliary handle completely onto the housing

and position it slightly until it “snaps” intoplace.

To adjust the auxiliary handle up or down, press in on

the buttons and raise or lower the handle.

The handle should be adjusted so that your front arm

is straight when the edger is in the workingposition.

The front wheel can be adjusted to allow a deeper or

shallower cut, and to increase the life of the blade.

1. Wait for blade to come to completestop.

2. Unplugtool.

3. Loosen the cut depthknob

4. Adjust wheel depth, using the depth indicator (on the

wheel bracket and the marking on the fronthousing.

Recommend 1 " (2.5 cm) depth foredging.

5. Tighten knobfirmly.

Thick overgrowth may drag on the guard. Reduce

cut depth to minimum to help reduce thiseffect.

The edge guide is useful for cutting a straight path along

sidewalks. For landscaping or trenching in the yard the edge

guide can interfere with moving the edger through hard

soil or sod. The edge guide can be adjusted so that the tool

will also perform TRENCHING and LANDSCAPINGoperations.

Pull edge guide lever sideways to unlock from the guard

tab in direction of small arrow. Lift the lever up until the

lower square notch in the lever lines up with the tab on

the guard. In this position the edge guide is lifted up so the

tool can easily cut along the edges of flower and shrubbery

beds, and around trees in preparation for trenching or

sodremoval.

To return edge guide to lower position, pull lever sideways

and push down until guard tab fits into upper leverhole.

You may need to tilt edger back to allow edge guide

to be moved into trenchingposition.

Fig.G

An extension cord retainer is built into the switch

handle to reduce strain on the power cord. To use this

feature, simply double the extension cord as shown, about

1' (30 cm) from the end, and insert it into the end of the

handle. Hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over

the tab. Gently tug on the cord to ensure that it is firmly

retained in thehandle.

Keep extension cord clear of operator, unit, and any

obstacles at all times. Do not expose the cord to heat, oil,

water, or sharpedges.
