STARTING AND STOPPING
See Figure 3
To start the motor:
Connect the edger to the power supply.
Fully depress the lock-off button.
Fully depress the switch trigger.
Release the lock-off button.
To stop the motor:
Release the switch trigger.
ADJUSTING THE TELESCOPING POLE
See Figure 4.
Disconnect the edger from the power supply.
Rotate the collar counterclockwise to loosen.
Push poles towards each other to shorten the pole or
pull away from each other to lengthen the pole.
When the desired length is achieved, rotate the collar
clockwise to secure.
NOTE:
Adjust hand placement on the shaft of the
edger to keep proper balance. Do not attempt to use
the edger at a length which does not allow you to
achieve proper footing and balance at all times.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 5.
The depth of cut is determined by the distance from the
bottom of the wheel to the tip of the blade.
To adjust the blade depth:
Stop the motor and unplug the edger.
Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel up to
increase the depth or down to decrease the depth.
After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting
knob securely.
NOTE:
Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 1 in.
deep initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting
depth. If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this
should be done progressively until the desired depth
is reached. To increase blade life span, keep initial
cutting depth at minimum and increase depth setting
only as blade wears.
USING THE EDGER
Hold the unit with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip
with both hands while in operation. The edger should be
held at a comfortable position with the handle about hip
height.
OPERATING TIPS
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways,
flower beds and curbs.
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 the 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 motor, unplug
the edger, wait for the blade to stop rotating, and
remove debris from the blade guard.
Attention ! Danger! - The cutting elements continue to
rotate after the motor is switched off .
MAINTENANCE
