Edging Tips
WARNING
Read the Operator's manual. Know location and functions
of all controls . Keep all safety devices and shields in place .
Never allow children or uninstructed adults to operate the
edger . Keep bystanders away from machine . Keep away
from the blade and all rotating parts, which cause injury .
• Edging is best performed when conditions are dry . If the
soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed around the blade
causing premature belt wear and decreased performance .
• If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the
engine and remove the wire from the spark plug .
Remove the packed dirt and debris from the blade .
• For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths. Then, cut at
greater depths until the desired depth is obtained .
• Edging can be customized by varying the number of
passes and the distance between the blade and the edge
of sidewalk, driveway, or curb .
