[. . . ] Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass. Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear and breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string. OPERATING THE EDGER See Figure 11. Hold the edger with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. The edger should be held on the right side of the body. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. The edger should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height. NOTE: When the attachment is being used on a trimmer with a gasoline engine, always operate at full throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler. Fig. 11 13 OPERATION ADJUSTING EDGER BLADE DEPTH See Figures 12 - 13. Depth of the cut is determined by the distance from the bottom of the wheel to the tip of blade. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power source. Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up to increase the depth and down to decrease the depth. After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob securely. Replace the spark plug wire or connect to the power supply and start the unit. NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done progressively until the desired depth is reached.
