EDGE TRENCH BEVEL LEVEL CUT
To EDGE:
The wheels should be run on the walk with the guide
against the edge of the walk. Best results are obtained
when you allow the tool to run at close to full speed. Do
not push tool too fast so that motor stalls. Back up quickly
if stalling occurs and allow tool to run at full speed.
To TRENCH:
Place Edger in position shown above. Trenching,provldes
a wider margin betv_een the]awa and the watl_ Trench-
ing removes more material and therefore increases the
motor load. Be careful to move slowly to avoid motor
stalling or overload.
DYNAMIC BRAKE:
Your edger is equipped with a dynamic brake. This
feature uses the energy of the motor to stop the spinning
blade when the switch is released.
To BEVEL:
Place Edger in position shown above. Beveling allows you
to edge closer to walks or planters. The edge guide dees
not function in this position and care should be taken to
avoid allowing blade to strike the Wall or submerged foot-
ings.
To LEVEL CUT:
Place _dger in position shown above. Level cutting
allows you to cut grasses similar to a lawn mower. Level
cutting is practical for only small areas and is not in-
tended as a lawn mower substitute.
THE OPERATION OF ANY EDGER CAN RESULT IN FOREIGN OBJECTS BEING
THROWN INTO THE EYES, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SEVERE EYE DAMAGE.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR EYE SHIELDS BEFORE COMMENCING
POWER TOOL OPERATION. WE RECOMMENDA WIDE VISION SAFETY MASK
FOR OVER SPECTACLES OR STANDARD SAFETY GLASSES AVAILABLE AT
SEARS RETAIL OR CATALOG STORES.
FORESIGHT IS BETTER THAN NO SIGHT.
