Adjusting the blade depth
– Loosen the nut on the wheel.
– Move the wheel and adjust the height according to the operation,
then tighten the nut.
Operation tips
– Before edging, water the area to soften the ground and make
edging easier.
– Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and
objects that could be thrown.
– Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and
to avoid having to make more than one pass.
NOTE:
Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height
between the hard surface and the top of the grass.
– Adjust the blades’ depth of cut to produce a fine cut between
sidewalk and grass using a minimum blade depth, usually with
about 13 mm (1/2”) of the blade into the ground.
