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.

■
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.
