ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 4 - 5.
„ Stop the engine or motor and remove the spark plug
wire, disconnect from the power supply, or remove the
battery pack.
„ Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up
to increase the depth, or down to decrease the depth.
„ Adjust the guide wheel so that the blade breaks the dirt
or just touches the ground.
„ After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
„ Replace the spark plug wire, connect to the power supply,
or reinstall the battery pack and start the unit.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 2-1/4 in. deep
initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If the
cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done progres-
sively until the desired depth is reached.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine or motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from
spark plug, disconnect from power supply, or remove the
battery pack. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious personal injury or property damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
WARNING:
When servicing, use replacement parts that meet or
exceed original product specifications. Use of any other
parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.
OPERATION
OPERATING TIPS
„ The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower-
beds, curbs, and similar areas.
„ Use the arrow guide on the blade guard to align the blade
with the edging surface.
„ Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down,
you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force the
blade into ground.
„ Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge,
curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.
„ Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid
edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade guard
might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the blade guard
becomes clogged, stop the engine, remove the spark plug
wire, disconnect from the power supply, or remove the
battery pack, then remove debris from the blade guard.
