Remove and clean any debris from the outside of the edger
and inside of guard before storage. Refer to
section. If necessary, the edger may be stored by hanging
on a hook by its handle.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents that
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you use the
tool in areas where fertilizers or chemicals have been used,
the tool should be cleaned immediately afterwards. Wipe
all exposed parts with a damp cloth. You may lubricate only
metal parts with a light petroleum based oil.
When cleaning, DO NOT immerse tool in water or squirt it
with ahose.
The edger is a major appliance and should not be
operated simultaneously with other major appliances on
the same householdcircuit.
1. Set cut depth at 1 " and set edge guide to
the down position, refer to
Instructions.
2. Before starting the edger, line up the tool so the edge
guide rests against the edge of the paved surface.
Both rear wheels should be on the paved surface
whenedging.
When there is heavy overgrowth of grass over the
paved surface it may drag on the guard. An initial cut may
be required with the edger on the grass side. This will
require lifting up the edge guide and may require reducing
the depth of cut (refer to
instructions).
3. To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle down so the
blade is above theground.
4. Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin without
movingtool.
5. Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, finding the
edge of the paved surface and start edging. Then
move tool forward slowly along edge of paved surface,
keeping the edge guide pressed lightly against the
pavementedge.
For the first edging each season, it is best to move
forward slowly because grass is thickest then.
Subsequent edging will be completed more rapidly.
If the tool slows down, back it up an inch or two
until the blade comes up to normal speed. During
edging some sparks may be generated from hitting
stones. This is normal. Do not attempt to edge when
the grass or soil is wet or moist—for electrical safety
and to prevent clogging of the blade chamber. If
you must edge under conditions that cause the
blade chamber to become clogged, release trigger,
wait for blade to come to complete stop. Unplug
tool, open door and remove clogged material with
a stick. To continue to operate the tool in a clogged
condition will seriously overload themotor.
