USING THE EDGER AS A DEPTH GUIDE
The edge guide is also effective as a depth guide when
trimming next to solid structures like walls, block fences
or foundations (Fig. 17).
To adjust the guide’s length, loosen the depth
adjustment wing nut that is located on top of the guide
(Fig. 17). Next, pull the guide out as far as it will go. This
length is equal to the length of the trimming line. Tighten
the wing nut.
Using the edge guide in this manner will greatly reduce
line wear. Without it, trimming line will wear away more
quickly as it repeatedly hits the structure you’re trimming
near.

6. Start the unit following the instructions described in
Starting/Stopping Instructions
.
7. Hold the shaft grip with your right hand and the D-
handle with your left (Fig. 16).
8. Line up the cutting line with the edge of the sidewalk.
The edge guide wheel will run parallel to the cutting line
and roll a couple inches from the end of the sidewalk.
9. Squeeze the throttle control. The cutting attachment
will trim the grass at the location where the two
surfaces meet, producing a cleanly trimmed edge.
10. When you are done using the edger, move it out of
the way. Loosen its wing nut and rotate the edger
180˚ from it the position shown in Figure 15. The
edger will rest above the cutting attachment guard.
Re-tighten the wing nut and operate the trimmer
normally. When you are finished, return to the
trimming mode
