the blade arm is completely locked into its horizontal position.
• Now, tilt the machine back again over its tyres until supported by the swivel caster on the
ground. This tilting motion drives the horizontally oscillating blade into the ground.
9.4.3. Working with the machine
After performing the necessary checks (§ 9.1), preparing the working terrain (§ 9.2), and getting
the motor running, the work may commence. As the operator, always follow the prescribed safety
recommendations.
• Whilst working, the operator shall always operate the machine from the operating post, mean -
ing from behind the steering with both hands on the grips. This is a safe position that is out of
harm’s way (read §7.3.5).
• Set the machine at the starting point of the path that was plotted out, so that the guide arrow
points just above the reference string (the guide is optional on the Edge Styler STD).
• To keep the machine from deviating off course whilst edging up a lawn, it is equipped with an
anti-deviation disc (only for the EDGE STYLER PRO; optional on the Edge Styler STD). Activate
the anti-deviation disc (§ 9.4.5.).
• The blade driver is automatically activated when switching the blade from transport mode into
operating mode.
• The operator can position the blade arm in operating mode using a foot pedal on the right
hand side of the machine.
• Once the blade is in the ground, the wheel drive can be activated. For this, press down on the
red handle on the right side of the steering.
• This is how you drive the machine along its path.
For your information :
To make it easier for the blade to initially penetrate the ground, it is suggested to
use a spade to dig a vertical opening in the spot where you will begin working.
Caution :
The operator should wear personal safety gear any time the motor is running.
This includes safety boots or protective footwear, utility gloves, protective
eyewear, and hearing protection.
Caution :
It serves no purpose to exert full force or attempt to support one’s full body
weight on the foot pedal. This can only result in breakage or damage to the
pedal.
