TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Keep the wheel on the sidewalk or pavement.
• To protect the sidewalk or pavement from damage, keep the edger guide in contact with the edge
of the sidewalk or pavement.
• Use the alignment guide to help maintain proper alignment (Fig. 11).
• Keep the blade perpendicular to the ground.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make the rst cut no more than 1/2” deep. Increase the depth by 1/2” and
cut the area again. Repeat this process until the desired depth is achieved. Refer to Adjusting the
Cutting Depth.
• Cut at a slow, even pace.
• Frequently check the condition of the blade. As it wears, the blade will become smaller, reducing
the cutting depth. Replace the blade as needed. Refer to Replacing the Blade.
WARNING: Blade thrust can occur when the spinning blade contacts an object that it
does not immediately cut. Blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the unit and/or
operator to be propelled in any direction and possibly lose control of the unit. Blade thrust
can occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds. This is more likely to occur in
areas where it is dicult to see the material being cut.
WARNING: The blade will continue to spin for a while after the unit is turned o. To
avoid serious personal injury, do not touch a coasting blade.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always turn the unit o before removing
debris from the unit. Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
