Usage
1. Set cut depth at 1" (2.5 cm)", refer to Assembly and
AdjustmentsInstructions.
2. Before starting the edger, line up the tool so the edge
guide rests against the edge of the paved surface. The
wheel should be on the paved surface whenedging.
NOTE: 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
may require reducing the depth of cut (refer to Cut Depth
Adjustmentinstructions).
3. To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle down so the
blade is above theground.
4. Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin without
movingtool.
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 pavementedge.
‑ 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. Remove battery
pack and remove clogged material with a stick. To
continue to operate the tool in a clogged condition
will seriously overload themotor.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to unclog the blade
chamber by dropping or tapping the tool on the
ground. This can damage the unit. Keep hands clear of
edge guide and blade when cleaning as these wear to
a very sharp point duringedging.
Landscaping/Trenching
WARNING: Before Landscaping or Trenching, inspect
and ensure there are no exposed or buried cables,
pipes or other objects that may create a hazard or
interfere with operating the edger. Set depth to only
WARNING: Hold the tool using only the designated
gripping surfaces: The powerhead handle and the
auxiliary handle.
WARNING: Do not use the pole as a grippingsurface.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the powerhead
handle
15
and one hand on the auxiliary handle
16
.
Proper Hand Position (Fig.G)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position asshown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
suddenreaction.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can causeinjury.
Edge Guide (Fig.F)
The edge guide is useful for cutting a straight path
alongsidewalks.
Cut Depth Adjustment (Fig.A, E)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories, or prior to
cleaning. An accidental start‑up can causeinjury.
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 completestop.
2. Removebattery.
3. Loosen the cut depthknob
2
.
4. Slide the wheel up or down to the desiredheight.
NOTE: Lowering the wheel will decrease the cutting
depth. Rasing the wheel will increase the cutting depth.
The recommend depth foredging is 1" (2.5cm).
NOTE: Thick overgrowth may drag on the guard. Reduce
the cut depth to the minimum to help reduce thiseffect.
5. Tighten knobfirmly.
2. While holding the locking rod
4
, remove the flange
nut
14
by turning it clockwise with a 13mm or 17mm
wrench (not supplied) as shown in Fig.D
3. Remove the blade spacer
12
and the blade
1
as shown
in Fig. D. Examine all pieces for damage and replace
ifnecessary.
Installing the New Cutting Blade (Fig. D)
1. Install new blade
1
on shoulder of the blade cutter shaft
bushing
19
as shown in Fig.D.
2. Align the shaft bushing hole
16
with the locking rod
slot
17
and insert a locking rod
4
into the bushinghole.
3. Hold the locking rod inposition.
4. Install the blade spacer
12
on the blade so that the wide
flat side faces theblade.
5. Install flange nut
14
with the flange against the blade
spacer
12
and securely tighten with a13mm or 17mm
wrench (notsupplied).
6. Tighten nut counterclockwise against the blade while
holding the locking rod:
‑ If using a torque wrench and an 13mm or 17mm socket
tighten to: 325-335 in lb, 27- 28ft. lb, 37- 38Nm.
‑ Without a torque wrench, use a 13mm or 17mm
closed-end or socket wrench, turning the nut
until the blade retainer is snug against the shaft
bushing. Ensure that the blade is installed correctly,
then rotate the nut an additional 1/4 to 1/2
turncounterclockwise.
7. Remove the locking rod from the locking rod slot
