SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Be sure all guards are properly and securely attached.

• Replace dull or worn blade; do not attempt to sharpen.

• Do not attempt to sharpen blade. Failure to heed this warning could result in excessive 

  vibration causing serious personal injury or property damage.

• Use this edger for edging along sidewalks, driveways, and flower beds. Do not use for any 

  other purpose.

• Do not use the edger on or near graveled surfaces.

• If the edger strikes any type of foreign object: 

    a) Stop the edger and disconnect from the power supply. 

    b) Inspect for damage to the edger attachment. 

    c) Correct damage before using the edger attachment.  Failure to do so can cause serious 

        injury.

• Make yourself familiar with the area you are edging. Be aware of uneven sidewalks and holes 

  in the terrain as well as other similar hazardous conditions (example: wire or wire rope which 

  can break off and become a dangerous projectile). Always push the edger attachment slowly 

  over rough ground.

• Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the area of 

  operation. Use care in directing discharge to avoid glass enclosures, automobiles, and the 

  like.

• Always stop the motor and disconnect from power supply before attempting to remove any 

  obstruction caught or jammed in the blade, installing attachment, or making any adjustments.

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow excessive grass, leaves, or grease to accumulate on 

  the product.

• Do not attempt to remove cut material nor hold material to be cut when the motor is running or 

  when the cutting blade is moving.

• Always keep your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle when 

  the blade is rotating.

• Always be aware of the power cord’s location and keep clear of the area you are working in. 

  Cords may become a trip hazard to the operator. Cords that are in the cutting path may be cut 

  by the edger.

• Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the edger blade.

• A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to spin after the motor is stopped or 

  throttle trigger released. Maintain proper control until the blade has completely stopped 

rotating.

• Do not leave product unattended.

• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an 

  authorized service center to avoid risk.

• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may 

  use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also to prevent 

  misuse of the product and possible injury.
