EDGING
As you become familiar with use of your edger
attachment, you will be able to determine your
own operating pace.
Conditions such as depth of cut and material
being cut will regulate the speed and time re-
quired for your edging job.
S
Allow the engine to warm up before you begin
edging.
S Increase the engine speed before placing the
blade in the cut. For best results, run the en-
gine at full throttle while cutting.
S Always work going away from people and
solid objects such as walls, large stones,
trees, automobiles, etc.
S Be careful when edging near trees or valuable
plants. The high speed metal blade may cut
roots and cause damage to the plants.
S If the blade stalls, immediately move the unit
back slightly to allow the blade to restart. If the
blade continues to stall, stop the engine, dis-
connect the spark plug, and inspect for block-
age or damage.
WARNING: Keep the blade area
clean. Always release the throttle trigger,
push and release the engine ON/STOP
switch, disconnect the spark plug and make
sure the blade has completely stopped turn-
ing before cleaning.
SETTING THE EDGING DEPTH
WARNING: Never attempt to adjust
the cut depth when the engine is running. Al-
ways release the throttle trigger, wait until the
blade stops turning, push and release the en-
gine ON/STOP switch, and disconnect spark
plug before making adjustments.
