To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This

equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or

3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together

only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the

extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the

plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If

the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact

a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not

modify the appliance plug or extension cord in anyway.

This edger is intended for householduse.

use under wet conditions or in presence of

flammable liquids orgases.

let children come into contact with the tool.

Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use

thistool.

1. Remove knobs and curved head bolts from

handle tube mountingholes.

2. Remove tape which secures internal jacketed cable

totubes.

3. Slide middle tube

into upper tube and fasten

handle tubes together with the knob and curved head

bolt. Note that when you first insert the bolt it may

be necessary to wiggle it carefully to get it past the

jacketed cable inside the tube. There are two positions

available for adjustment to your preferred height

setting. See Figure G for upper handle orientation.

Ensure the cable moves smoothly into the handle tubes

whileassembling.

4. Push jacketed cable down into lower tube to remove

the slack. Slide the middle tube into the lower by

locating the groove and the bump. Fasten handle tubes

together with the remaining knob and curved head

bolt. Note that when you first insert the bolt it may

be necessary to wiggle it carefully to get it past the

jacketed wire inside thetube.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate

marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss

of power and overheating. These tools are factory tested; if

this tool does not operate, check power supply.

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.

Fig.E

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.

Fig. F

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.

Fig.H

The blade

, two spacers and hex head nut with

conical washer should be attached to your edger in the

order shown. Please check that the blade has been properly

mounted before using your edger. The edger blade has two

wear indicators that show when blade needs to be replaced.

When the blade wears to the small hole at each end of the

blade it will give only 1/4 " (6 mm) depth of cut and should

bereplaced.

To increase blade life, keep initial cutting depth at

minimum and increase depth setting as bladewears.

1. Loosen the hex head nut

(9/16 "). Use a 1 " wrench

on the outer spacer , or a 2 " x 4 " wood block

between the blade

and guard if necessary to hold

the blade fromturning.

2. Ensure inner spacer is on shaft—”flats” in spacer hole

must engage with “flats” onshaft.

3. Holding the spacer in place, put the blade on the shaft,

as shown (FigureI).

4. Hold the blade against the spacer and install the outer

spacer, again aligning the flats in the spacer with the

flats on theshaft.

5. Install the hex head nut and conical washer, then

tighten with awrench.

Replace hex head nut and conical washer only

with identical replacementpart.

Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle

and one hand on the auxilliary handle .

Fig.I

Fig.J

To turn tool ON, squeeze the trigger switch . The trigger

has been designed so that it is very easy to hold in the ON

position. To turn tool OFF, release thetrigger.

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 ahose.

The edger is a major appliance and should not be

operated simultaneously with other major appliances on

the same householdcircuit.

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

whenedging.

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 theground.

4. Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin without

movingtool.

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

pavementedge.

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 themotor.

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are

available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized

service center. If you need assistance in locating any

accessory, please contact CRAFTSMAN call 1-888-331-4569.
