BEVELING--provides a wider cut or
trench around sidewalks, driveways, pa-
tios, etc. Beveling removes more materi-
al and therefore increases motor load.
Be careful to cut slowly to avoid motor
stalling or overload, which may damage
motor. The width of the bevel cut can be
changed by adjusting the depth of the
front wheel (see DEPTH ADJUSTMENT).
Beveling
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The front wheel can be adjusted to allow
for a deeper or shallower cut. Move the
wheel up for a deeper cut, down for a
shallower cut. When the wheel is ad-
usted all the way down (travel position),
the bade s fted cear of the ground.
Adjust as follows:
• Loosen the knob on the front wheel
assembly.
• Adjust the wheel to set the blade
depth. Use a higher wheel setting for
deep edging, a lower wheel setting for
shallow edging and trenching.
• Tighten knob securely.

OPERATING TIPS
• Allow the blade to reach full speed be-
fore placing the blade in the cut. Be
careful to cut slowly to avoid motor
stalling or overload, which may dam-
age the motor.
• Keep your edging path straight by
keeping the edge guide in contact with
the edge of the walkway.
• Always work going away from people
and solid objects such as walls, large
stones, trees, automobiles, etc.
• Be careful when edging near trees or
valuable plants. The high speed metal
blade may cut roots and cause dam-
age to the plants.
• Always keep blade area clean. Stop
the unit, make sure blade has com-
pletely stopped turning, and discon-
nect unit from the power source before
cleaning.
• If blade stalls, immediately raise the
blade from the cut by lowering the
handle. If blade continues to stall
when raised, stop the unit, disconnect
thepower source, and inspect the
blade area for blockage or damage.
Clean the blade area of debris.
