Operation - Shindaiwa LE2510/EVC Manual Del Operador

Operation

Using a hand-held edger
WARNING!
Wear eye protection, long pants,
and boots when operating this
machine!
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!
Before edging, make sure the area
is soft enough so the blade does not
bog down. If necessary, water the area
before edging.
Remove debris and other obstacles that
could be thrown by the rotating blade.
Adjusting blade cutting depth
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.
3. Tighten the guide wheel adjusting knob
firmly.
WARNING!
Use only Shindaiwa replace-
ment edger blades.
WARNING!
Never adjust the guide wheel
while the engine is running.
NOTE:
Guide wheel adjustment is also required
to compensate for blade wear.
10
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.
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.
CAUTION!
Low-speed edging can lead to pre-
mature clutch failure.
