Switching Edger On and Off (Fig. A)
WARNING:

then the trigger
. Once the tool is running, you may
release the lock-off button.
2. To turn the edger off, release the trigger.
Usage
WARNING:
ejected from the edger. Make sure there are no objects
in front of the edger that can be damaged by a flying
object during operation.
1. Set cut depth at 1.4" (3.5 cm) and set edge guide
to the down position, refer to Assembly and
Adjustments Instructions.
2. Before starting the edger, line up the tool so the edge
guide rests against the edge of the paved surface. The
wheel should be on the paved surface when edging.
nOTE: When there is heavy overgrowth of grass over the
paved surface it may drag on the guard. An initial cut may
be required with the edger on the grass side. This will
require lifting up the edge guide and may require reducing
the depth of cut (refer to To Change Position of the Edge
Guide instructions).
3. To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle down so the
blade is above the ground.
4. Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin without
moving tool.
5. Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, finding the
edge of the paved surface and start edging. Then
move tool forward slowly along edge of paved surface,
keeping the edge guide pressed lightly against the
pavement edge.
‑
For the first edging each season, it is best to move
forward slowly because grass is thickest then.
Subsequent edging will be completed more rapidly.
If the tool slows down, back it up an inch or two
until the blade comes up to normal speed. During
edging some sparks may be generated from hitting
stones. This is normal. Do not attempt to edge when
the grass or soil is wet or moist—for electrical safety
and to prevent clogging of the blade chamber. If you

CAUTION:
blade chamber by dropping or tapping the tool on the
ground. This can damage the unit. Keep hands clear of
edge guide and blade when cleaning as these wear to
a very sharp point during edging.
Landscaping/Trenching
WARNING:
Trenching, inspect and ensure there are no exposed or
and
buried cables, pipes or other objects that may create a
hazard or interfere with operating the edger. Set depth
to only that required for the job. Do not overload. If tool
slows, pull back slightly and wait until blade comes up
to normal speed.
Storage
DANGER:
blade to come to complete stop.
Remove and clean any debris from the outside of the edger
and inside of guard before storage. Refer to MAINTENANCE
section. If necessary, the edger may be stored by hanging on
a hook by its handle.
CAUTION:
switch trigger.
NOTICE:
to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause
rapid corrosion.
Preventing Corrosion
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents that
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you use the tool
in areas where fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the
tool should be cleaned immediately afterwards. Wipe all
exposed parts with a damp cloth. You may lubricate only
metal parts with a light petroleum based oil.
When cleaning, DO NOT immerse tool in water or squirt it
with a hose.
