EDGING----yields precise, close cutting
around sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc.
EDGING
BEVELING----provides a wider cut or
trench around sidewalks, driveways,
patios, etc. Beveling removes more
material and therefore increases motor
load. Be careful to cut slowly to avoid
motor stalling or overload, which may
damage the motor.
BEVELING
OPERATING TIPS
S
Allow the blade to reach full speed
before placing the blade in the cut.
Be careful to cut slowly to avoid mo-
tor stalling or overload, which may
damage the motor.

Keep your edging path straight by
keeping the edge guide in contact with
the edge of the walkway.
S
Always work going away from people
and solid objects such as walls, large
stones, trees, automobiles, etc.
S
Be careful when edging near trees or
valuable plants. The high speed met-
al blade may cut roots and cause
damage to the plants.

Always keep blade area clean. Stop
the unit, make sure blade has com-
pletely stopped turning, and discon-
nect unit from the power source be-
fore cleaning.

If blade stalls, immediately raise the
blade from the cut by lowering the
handle. If blade continues to stall
when raised, stop the unit, discon-
nect the power source, and inspect
the blade area for blockage or dam-
age. Clean the blade area of debris.
