The depth of cut can be adjusted to allow a deeper or
shallower cut, and to increase the life of the blade. There
are three adjustible settings that can be set using the depth

adjustment lever
.
1. Wait for blade to come to complete stop.
2. Remove the battery from the tool.
3. For a shallower cut, pull the depth adjustment lever away
from the housing and slide it down into one of the lower
depth adjustment slots
4. For a deeper cut, pull the depth adjustment lever away
from the housing and slide it upwards into one of the
upper depth adjustment slots
nOTE: Recommend 1.4" (3.5 cm) depth for edging.

depth to minimum to help reduce this effect.
Pull-Up Edge Guide (Fig. G, J)
The edge guide is useful for cutting a straight path along
sidewalks. For landscaping or trenching in the yard the edge
guide can interfere with moving the edger through hard soil
18
or sod. The edge guide
will also perform trenching or landscaping operations.
To Change Position of the Edge Guide
•
To use without the edge guide, pull edge guide knob
away from the housing and slide the edge guide knob to
the upper guide notch
nOTE: In this position the edge guide is raised and the
blade can more easily trench or cut along the edges
of flower and shrubbery beds, and around trees in
preparation for trenching or sod removal.
•
To use the edge guide, pull edge guide knob away from
the housing and slide the edge guide knob to the lower
24
guide notch
on the housing.
nOTE: You may need to tilt edger back to allow edge guide
to be moved into trenching position.
