OPERATING YOUR EDGER-TRIMMER
Always disengage edger-trimmer blade and
shut engine off when leaving the edger-trim-
mer unattended, even if for just a few min-
utes. Prevent accidents; don't give children
or unauthorized persons an opportunity to
operate this machine.
CAUTION
CORRECT ENGINE OPERATION
Always start edger-trimmer in motion
slowly. Sudden starts can be damaging
to the equipment and could cause loss of
operator control.
CAUTION
Rotating blade can throw dirt or debris.
Wear safety glasses when operating the
edger-trimmer.
CAUTION
Never adjust cutterhead angle when engine
is running.
WARNING
ADJUSTING CUTTERHEAD ANGLE
(See Fig. 2)
Before starting engine, adjust cutterhead angle.
The cutterhead angling lever, located on the left
hand side of the frame, enables the operator
to position the blade horizontally for trimming
or choose several vertical positions for edging.
CLUTCH AND DEPTH LEVER
SETTINGS (See Fig. 3)
Clutch and Depth lever is used to engage and
disengage the drive belt, which operates the
blade. It is also used to regulate the depth of
edging and height of trimming.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Be sure the clutch lever is in the rear DISENGAGED
position before starting engine.
Manually pull out choke on engine.
Grasp the recoil starting handle and pull quickly.
Return the handle slowly. If the engine fails to
start after three or four pulls, lower the throttle
to the detented full throttle (fast) position.
Once the engine starts, push the choke to the off
position. Use the SLOW position to idle the engine.
ENGAGING THE DRIVE BELT
Move clutch and depth lever forward to engage
drive belt and blade. Notches in base of lever
permit adjusting depth of cut for edging and height
for trimming.
TO STOP
Disengage edger-trimmer clutch and depth lever.
Move throttle control to stop position. Make
sure engine is stopped and blade is not
rotating before leaving the operating position.
