OPERATING
NOTE:
The edger is a major appliance and should not be operated simultaneously with other major appliance on the same household circuit.
For the first edging each season, it is best to move forward slowly because grass is thickest then. Subsequent edging will be completed more
rapidly. If the tool slows down, back it up an inch or two until the blade comes up to normal speed. Do not attempt to edge when the grass or
soil is wet or moist, for electrical safety and to prevent clogging of the blade chamber. If you must edge under conditions that cause the blade
chamber to become clogged, release trigger, wait for blade to come to complete stop! UNPLUG TOOL! Open door and remove clogged
material with a stick. To continue to operate the tool in a clogged condition will seriously overload the motor.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to unclog the blade guard by dropping or tapping the tool on the ground. This can damage the unit. Keep hands clear
of blade when cleaning as it will wear to a very sharp point during edging.
STORAGE
WARNING:
Be sure lawn edger is unplugged.
CAUTION:
Do not hang edger on switch trigger or power cord.
Note:
Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion.
PREVENTING CORROSION
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents that greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you use the tool in areas where
fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the tool should be cleaned immediately afterwards. Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth. You
may lubricate only metal parts with a light petroleum based oil. When cleaning, DO NOT immerse tool in water or squirt it with a hose.
