Blade rotates mo-
mentarily after the
switch is released.
Stop rotating
blade by contact
with cut material.
/
• Always release the switch and allow
motor to stop when not cutting.
• To stop the motor, release the switch;
allow blade to stop turning before re-
moving it from the cut.
As you become familiar with your
edger, you will be able to determine
your own operating pace. Conditions
such as depth of cut, angle of cut, and
material being cut will regulate the
speed and time required for your edg-
ing job.
EDGING ! !
EDGING--yields precise, close cutting
around sidewalks, driveways, patios,
etc.
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-
justed all the way down (travel position),
the blade is lifted clear 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
before placing the blade in the cut.
Be careful to cut slowly to avoid mo-
tor stalling or overload, which may
damage 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 met-
al blade may cut roots and cause
damage 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 be-
fore 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, discon-
nect the power source, and inspect
the blade area for blockage or dam-
age. Clean the blade area of debris.
