EDGiNG TipS
WARNiNG!
Read the Operator’s manual. Know location and functions of all controls.
Keep all safety devices and shields in place. Never allow children or
uninstructed adults to operate the edger. Keep bystanders away from
machine. Keep away from the blade and all rotating parts, which cause
injury.
• Edging is best performed when conditions are dry. If the soil is too wet,
dirt becomes packed around the blade causing premature belt wear and
decreased performance.
• If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the engine and remove
the wire from the spark plug. Remove the packed dirt and debris from the
blade.
• For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths. Then, cut at greater depths until
the desired depth is obtained.
• Edging can be customized by varying the number of passes and the distance
between the blade and the edge of sidewalk, driveway, or curb.
