CHECKING THE BLADE DEPTH
CONTROL
The blade depth control has been pre-adjusted at
the factory. Before operating the edger, check the
adjustment of the control cable as follows:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and move it
away from the spark plug.
2. Move the blade depth control lever to the lowest
notch forward and back to the start position on
the handle.
.
If the handle will not go to the start position,
loosen the hex lock nut on the control cable and
unthread the cable one turn. Again, move the
handle to the start position. When this position
is attained, hold the top of the cable with a pair
of pliers and tighten the hex lock nut.
