OPERATING YOUR EDGER-TRIMMER

Always disengage edger-trimmer blade and 

shut engine off when leaving the edger-trim-

mer unattended, even if for just a few min-

utes. Prevent accidents; don't give children 

or unauthorized persons an opportunity to 

operate this machine.

CAUTION

CORRECT ENGINE OPERATION

Always  start  edger-trimmer  in  motion 

slowly.  Sudden  starts  can  be  damaging 

to the equipment and could cause loss of 

operator control.

CAUTION

Rotating  blade  can  throw  dirt  or  debris. 

Wear  safety  glasses  when  operating  the 

edger-trimmer.

CAUTION

Never adjust cutterhead angle when engine 

is running.

WARNING

ADJUSTING CUTTERHEAD ANGLE 

(See Fig. 2)

Before starting engine, adjust cutterhead angle. 

The cutterhead angling lever, located on the left 

hand  side  of  the  frame,  enables  the  operator 

to  position  the  blade  horizontally  for  trimming 

or choose several vertical positions for edging.

CLUTCH AND DEPTH LEVER 

SETTINGS (See Fig. 3)

Clutch  and  Depth  lever  is  used  to  engage  and 

disengage  the  drive  belt,  which  operates  the 

blade.  It  is  also  used  to  regulate  the  depth  of 

edging and height of trimming.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Be sure the clutch lever is in the rear DISENGAGED 

position before starting engine.

Manually pull out choke on engine.

Grasp the recoil starting handle and pull quickly. 

Return  the  handle  slowly.  If  the  engine  fails  to 

start  after  three  or  four  pulls,  lower  the  throttle 

to  the  detented  full  throttle  (fast)  position.

Once the engine starts, push the choke to the off 

position. Use the SLOW position to idle the engine.

ENGAGING THE DRIVE BELT

Move clutch and depth lever forward to engage 

drive  belt  and  blade.  Notches  in  base  of  lever 

permit adjusting depth of cut for edging and height 

for trimming.

TO STOP

Disengage edger-trimmer clutch and depth lever.

Move  throttle  control  to  stop  position.  Make 

sure  engine  is  stopped  and  blade  is  not 

rotating  before  leaving  the  operating  position.
