with your left hand.

handle firmly with your right hand.

Pull back sharply on the recoil starter
handle.

DO NOT

allow the starter rope to

snap back, let it rewind slowly while

holding the starter handle.

pulls, push primer button two times and
pull starter rope again.

When the engine starts, run at full engine
speed during normal use.

NOTE:

The cutting blade speed is

controlled by the engine speed. To
reduce the cutting blade speed, push

back on the throttle control lever. To

increase the blade speed, push the
throttle control lever forward.

WARNING:

Never run the engine

indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands,
feet, hair and loose clothing away from any
moving parts on the engine or Edger. Avoid
the muffler and surrounding areas. Tem
peratures may exceed 150® F.

EDGING TIPS

• Edging is best performed when conditions

are dry. If the soil is too wet, dirt becomes
packed in and around the blade causing
premature belt wear and decreased
performance.

• If dirt does become packed around the

blade, stop the engine, remove the spark
plug wire, and remove the packed debris
before continuing to edge.

• If very deep edging is required, we

recommend that a shallow cut be made

first, then cuts at greater depth until the
desired depth is obtained.

• Uniform edging can be performed when

the blade guide (see figure on page 6)

rides on and against the surface which
you are edging.

• Edging can be customized by varying the

number of passes and by the distance
your blade is from the surface you are
edging.
