NOTE
Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height
between the hard surface and the top of the grass.
4. Loosen blade adjustment knob and adjust the blade’s depth of cut
to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and grass using a minimum
blade depth, usually with about 13 mm (1/2 in.) of the blade into
the ground. Tighten adjustment knob.
5. Before edging, plan your direction of travel so that the unit will
always be on your right side and so that you walk on a hard surface
whenever possible.
6. Hold edger as shown.
7. When starting to edge, run the engine at full throttle, and lower the
blade gently into the ground, being careful not to hit the concrete
with the blade.
IMPORTANT
Use the blade location slot in the top of the debris shield as a guide
to align the blade with the cut during edging.
8. Do not force the blade. Move only as quickly as the blade will al-
low.
