OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EDGING As you become familiar with your edger, 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 required for your edging job. S Allow the engine to warm up for one minute before you begin edging. S Increase the engine speed before placing the blade in the cut. For best operation, run the engine at full throttle while cutting. 6 S Keep you edging path straight by aligning the blade guide rib on the rear of the blade guard with the edge of the sidewalk. Blade Guide Rib NOTE: If the area to be edged has never been cut or several weeks have passed since the last cut, the first edging should be done at no more than half depth. To set the depth: S Move the depth control lever forward for shallower edging. S Move the depth control lever backward for deeper edging. Depth Control Lever 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 rearward slightly to allow the blade to restart. If the blade continues to stall, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and inspect for blockage or damage. Stop the engine, make sure the blade has completely stopped turning, and disconnect the spark plug before cleaning. Depth Adjusting Skid Support Arm When edging, the trigger handle must be raised until the skid rests on the ground. The trigger handle must be held in the raised position during the entire edging operation to maintain a consistent edging depth. DEPTH ADJUSTING SKID The surface of the depth adjusting skid will wear over a period of time. This part is reversible to provide a second wear surface. Remove the two mounting screws which hold the skid to the support arm. Reinstall the mounting screws. SETTING THE EDGING DEPTH WARNING: Never attempt to adjust the depth adjusting skid when the engine is running. [. . . ] Expenses covered under warranty include diagnosis, parts and labor.
