Injury caused by vibration
Hold the product by designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury
Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
Injury due to fl ying debris
Wear eye protection, heavy long trousers, gloves and
substancial footwear at all times.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The product is only intended for use outdoors by a standing
operator.
The product is designed for edging along hard surfaces,
such as sidewalks, driveways, fl ower beds, curbs, and
similar areas.
Do not use the tool on or near gravel surfaces.
The cutting plane should be approximately parallel to the
ground surface when trimming.
The product should not be used to cut or trim hedges,
bushes, or other vegetation where the cutting plane is not at
or about ground surface level.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for
normal use.

OPERATION
Avoid edging in wet soil/grass. The blade guard may clog
and cause unexpected results. If the blade guard becomes
clogged, stop the tool, remove the battery pack, and clean
debris from the blade guard.
Grasp the tool firmly with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Always stand behind
the guard. Hold the tool in a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.
Slide the tool along the surface, taking care to avoid contact
with hard objects. Use the blade ridge to align the blade with
the edging surface.
Push the tool at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog
down, slow the cutting pace. Do not force the blade into the
ground.

EDGER SAFETY WARNINGS
Training
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the equipment.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the edger. Local regulations may restrict
the age of the operator.
Never edge while people, especially children, or pets are
nearby.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
Preparation
While edging, always wear eye and ear protection,
substantial foot wear, and long trousers.
Thoroughly inspect the surface where the equipment is to
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and
other foreign objects.
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades,
blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in stets to
preserve balance.
Use only manufacturer-recommended replacement parts
and accessories.
Operation
Do not operate the engine in a confi ned space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Breathing
exhaust fumes can be fatal.
Edge only in daylight or in good artifi cial light.
Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
Walk, never run.
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the edger
toward you.
Make sure the blade has stopped before crossing surfaces
other than grass and when transporting the edger to and
from the area to be edged.
Never operate the edger with defective, missing or
incorrectly fi tted guards.
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed
the engine.
Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully according
to instructions and with feet well away from the blade(s).
Do not tilt when starting the engine or switching on the
motor, unless the edger has to be tilted for starting. In this
case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift
only the part which is away from the operator.
Do not start the engine when a bystander is standing in front
of the blade(s).
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
For technical data and approvals of application heads for use on various powerbases please refer to the operating instructions
of the used application head.
WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN ISO 3744 / ISO 7574-4 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment
of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent
applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
