HOLDING THE UNIT WITH EDGER ADD-ON
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position
(Figs. 4 & 5). Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper
clothing.
• The right arm is slightly bent, and the hand is holding
the shaft grip.
• The left arm is straight, and the hand is holding the
handle.
• The unit is at waist level.
• The edger wheel adjusted for proper cut depth and
edger positioned as shown in Figs. 4 or 5.
ADJUSTING EDGER CUTTING DEPTH
1. Loosen the adjustment knob above the wheel
(Fig 6).
2. Slide the wheel to the desired position.
•
Raising the wheel increases the cutting depth.
•
Lowering the wheel decreases the cutting depth.
3. Tighten the adjustment knob securely.
TIPS FOR BEST EDGING RESULTS
• Keep the cutting attachment perpendicular to the
ground.
• Do not force the edger. Edge the first time at a lesser
depth,(No more than 1/2” depth cut per pass), then do
the area again with a deeper setting.
• Walk the edger at a slow, even pace
• Check the blade condition, as it wears it becomes
smaller, reducing the cutting depth performance.
Replace with a new blade as required.
