How to Stop the Edger
C
Release the start lever (See Figure 6). This will ground out the engine through the flameout wire, causing the engine to
stop.
The flameout wire terminals must be securely connected for the Start Lever to function. Refer to the “How to
assemble the handle” section.
How to Change the Edger Cutting Depth
D
Move the Depth Control Lever forward to increase the
depth. (See Figure 7)
NOTE: There are 6 cutting depth settings from approximately
ground level to 3” (76 mm) deep.
Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge
too deep at too fast a rate. To edge at deeper settings,
make multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths.
How to Change the Blade Angle for a Beveled Edge
E
The blade can be adjusted 15 degrees from vertical (both directions) to provide a beveled cut, which will cut the grass
further away from the sidewalk or driveway, reducing the need to edge as often. Using the beveled edge at a deep depth
will cut a trench into the ground.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
3. Disengage the index lever (See Figure 8). Move the
index lever to the desired notch (15, 0 or -15 degrees).
4. Before you start the engine, line up the edger as if you
were going to bevel cut.
Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge
too deep at too fast a rate. To edge at deeper settings, make
multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths.
