OPERATION
WARNING: The complete clutch cover and shaft must
be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the
clutch can come loose and cause personal injury.
Ensure the cutting attachment cannot come into
contact with any object. Make sure no unauthorised
persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a
risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is
50 ft (15 metres).

Working methods (Fig. 39)
WARNING:
• Always wear eye protection such as safety gog-
gles.
• Never lean over the rotating cutting head. Rocks or
other debris could be thrown into eyes and face
and cause serious personal injury.
• Keep the blade guard (A, Fig.40) and the mad guard
(B) attached in place at all times when the unit is
operated.
• Before starting a job, check the area and remove all
40
obstacles and objects that could be thrown by the
blade.
• Do not adjust the wheel height or try to remove
anything entangled to the blade with the engine
running.
• Before starting the engine, adjust the wheel height for desired
cutting depth (Fig.41).
• Before starting a job, plan your direction of travel so that you
can always hold the edger on you right side and can walk on a
hard surface as much as possible.
• When starting to edge, maintain the engine speed at the level
41
required to perform edging work, and slowly have the blade cut
into the edge groove.
• Before edging, make sure the area is soft enough so the blade
does not bog down.
• Do not move the edger into the work so fast that the engine or
blade bogs down.
• Do not operate using starting throttle lock. It may cause unit
uncontrolled, and clutch failure.
• Use care in directing discharge to avoid bystanders, vehicles,
glass, and the like.
• When the blade guard is clogged or blade stuck, stop the engi-
ne and clean it.
