OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. To Start/Stop the Edger Attachment
See “STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD” section in the KMH 1040-03 power head
operator’s manual.
5. Operating Tips
• Hold and guide the edger so that the blade is
vertical.
• Operate at no more than a normal walking pace.
• 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 the ground. Light
contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge,
curb, etc. is acceptable and will not damage the
edger.
• Always walk forward when cutting and move the
edger forward. Do not pull the edger towards
you.
• Use the sight line to align the blade with the edge of the bed (Fig. 5).
• Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid edging in wet soil or wet grass areas
where the blade guard might and result in an uneven edge. If the blade guard becomes
clogged, stop the motor, remove the battery pack, and remove debris from the blade guard.
