Before edging, make sure the area is soft enough so the blade does not

bog down. If necessary, water the area before edging.
Remove debris and other obstacles that could be thrown by the rotating

blade.
Plan your work so the edger blade is always on your right-hand side.

Begin each pass by positioning the unit over the work, and with the engine

running at about half-throttle. Slowly lower the blade to the ground while

applying full throttle.
Do not move the edger into the work so fast that the engine or blade bogs

down.
Regular and frequent use of the

edger will make a neater lawn,

and a frequently trimmed edge

will be easier to maintain.

Operation

Using a hand-held edger

CAUTION!
Low-speed edging can lead to

premature clutch failure.

WARNING!

Wear eye protection, long pants, and boots when operating this

machine!
Whenever you strike a hard object with the blade, always stop the edger

and carefully inspect the blade for damage. NEVER OPERATE THE

EDGER WITH A DAMAGED BLADE!

The edger’s depth of cut is controlled

by a combination of operator height,

blade wear, and the positioning of the

edger’s guide wheel.
