PED-3005
With the cutting height adjusted and the engine operating, edging
can commence.
1. While the engine is idling, line up the lawn edger cutting blade
with the edge to be cut. Use
the arrow label on the blade
guard to assist in guiding you
where the cutting blade will cut.
2. Before beginning to edge, tilt
the handle down so the blade
is above ground level. This
assists in the prevention of
kickback.
3. When starting to edge, release
the safety and pull the throttle
lever. Run the engine at full
throttle and lower the blade
gently into the ground. Be
careful not to hit concrete with
the blade.
4. Walk forward slowly, keeping
the cutting blade aligned with
the edge to be cut. If the lawn
edger begins to slow down due
to a build up of grass in the
blade guard, walk back slightly
to allow the grass to fall out.
Let the cutting blade return to
normal speed before continuing forward.
NOTE:
Some sparks may be generated from the cutting blade
while pressed against a solid edge (eg; concrete) to be cut,
simply align the blade so no contact is made.
NOTE:
If the blade guard becomes clogged, tilt the handle down
so the blade is above ground level. This assists in clearing the
debris from the blade and guard. If the debris does not fall out,
stop the engine, wait for the blade to stop rotating and remove
debris from the blade guard.
5. EDGING
5. Continue on until you have successfully edged all sides of
your driveway and footpaths etc.
6. Release the throttle lever.
Press the On/Off switch to the
Off (O) position and let the
engine come to a complete
stop.
WARNING!:
BEFORE EDGING, CHECK THAT THE
AREA IS CLEAR OF ANY OBSTACLES AND
OBJECTS THAT COULD BE THROWN.
WARNING!:
THE ENGINE HOUSING MAY BECOME
VERY HOT DURING USE. AVOID CONTACT DURING
AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPERATION.
NOTE:
If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done
progressively until the desired depth is reached. Do not overload,
keep initial cutting depth at minimum. If the edger slows, pull back
slightly and wait until the blade returns to normal speed.
