WARNING: Before landscaping or trenching, inspect and
ensure there are no exposed or buried cables, pipes or
other objects that may create a hazard or interfere with
operating the edger. Set depth to only that required for the

and wait until the blade comes back up to its normal speed.

by dropping or tapping the tool on the ground. This can

blade chamber. If you must edge under conditions that cause the blade chamber to become
clogged, release the trigger, wait for the blade to come to complete stop, UNPLUG
