Edging Tips
Important:
Always hold the edger away from the body
keeping clearance between your body and the edger. Any
contact with the edger cutting head while operating can
result in serious personal injury.
•
Hold the edger 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
rear handle about hip height.
•
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower beds,
curbs, and similar areas.
•
Cut at a steady pace. If the edger begins to bog down, you
are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force the edger
into ground.
•
Light contact of the edger cutting head 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 guard might clog and
result in an uneven edge. If the guard becomes clogged, stop
the edger, disconnect the edger from the power source, and
remove debris from the guard.
