Using a Hand-held Edger LE260
CAUTION!
Low-speed edging can lead to prema-
ture clutch failure.
Before edging, make sure the area is
soft enough so the blade does not bog
down. If necessary, water the area be-
fore edging.
Remove debris and other obstacles that
could be thrown by the rotating blade.
Plan your work so the edger blade is
always on your right-hand side.
Begin each pass by positioning the unit
over the work, and with the engine run-
ning at about half-throttle. Slowly lower
the blade to the ground while applying full
throttle.
Guidelines for Operating the Edger.
WARNING!!
Wear eye protection, long pants, and
boots when operating this unit!
Whenever you strike a hard object
with the blade, always stop the
edger and carefully inspect the blade
for damage. NEVER OPERATE
THE EDGER WITH A DAMAGED
BLADE!
Figure 36
Do not move the edger into the work so
fast that the engine or blade bogs down.
Regular and frequent use of the edger
will make a neater lawn, and a frequently
trimmed edge will be easier to maintain.
The edger’s depth of cut is controlled by a
combination of operator height, blade wear,
and the positioning of the edger’s guide
wheel.
To adjust blade height:
1. Loosen the guide wheel adjusting knob.
2. Raise or lower the guide wheel to the
desired setting (see figure 37).
3. Tighten the guide wheel adjusting knob
firmly.
WARNING!!
Never adjust the guide wheel while the
engine is running.
NOTE:
Guide wheel adjustment is also required to
compensate for blade wear.
WARNING!!
Use only Shindaiwa replacement
blades.
