9 – English
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 8.
There are four depth positions from 1/2 in. to 2 in. Make a
shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If the cutting depth
needs adjusting, this should be done progressively until the
desired depth is reached.
Remove the battery pack.
Loosen the depth adjustment knob.
NOTE:
When the knob is loosened, the spring loaded
wheel will return to the 1/2 in. position.
Adjusting the wheel downward will increase the variable
cutting depth.
NOTE:
T
here are four notched positions.
Securely tighten the depth adjustment knob to lock the
wheel in the desired position.
DROP WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 9.
One of the rear wheels is adjustable and can drop to four
different positions. This feature enables edging on uneven
surfaces such as along curbs. Keeping the unit level on
uneven surfaces ensures the consistent cutting depth of
the blade.
Remove the battery pack.
Move the lever out to raise or lower to one of the four
positions.
NOTE:
No adjustment is necessary for level surfaces.
Leave the lever in the fully raised position.
Release the lever and make sure it locks securely into
one of the four positions.
EDGER GUIDE
See Figure 10.
The edger guide protects curbing and other surfaces from
damage by the edger’s blade.
Remove the battery pack.
Move the lever inward to release.
Raise or lower the lever to adjust the guide.
Lock into place by sliding the lever until it aligns with the
tabs on the blade guard.
OPERATING THE EDGER
See Figure 7.
Hold the edger with your hands on the handle assembly
and front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Edger should be held at a comfortable position with the
handle assembly about hip height.
Use the sight on the blade guide to align the blade with
the area you wish to edge.
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower
beds, curbs, and similar areas.
Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down,
you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force the
blade into ground.
Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge,
curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.
Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid
edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade guard
might clog and result in an uneven edge.
If the blade guard becomes clogged, stop the edger,
remove the battery, and remove debris from the blade
guard. Use the guard sweep to clear debris.
WARNING:
Always hold the edger away from the body keeping
clearance between the body and the edger. Any contact
with the edger cutting head while operating can result
in serious personal injury.
