Operate the edger under good visibility
and daylight conditions only. Work
carefully.
Always hold the edger firmly with both
hands. Wrap your fingers tightly around
the handles, keeping the handles
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hands in this
position to have your edger under
control at all times.
Make sure your edger handles and grip
are in good condition and free of
moisture, pitch, oil or grease.

Never attempt to operate any edger with
one hand. Loss of control of the edger
resulting in serious or fatal injury may
result.
Special care must be taken in slippery

difficult, over-grown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling.
Stay alert for uneven side walks, holes in
terrain or other similiar conditions when
using your edger. Always push slowly
over rough ground. Do not abuse your
edger.

injury.
Do not use edger on gravel surfaces.
