c. Adjust the guide plate so that the blade just
touches the ground or breaks the surface
of the soil (Fig. 4b).

CLOCKWISE securely.

if necessary.

Tips for best cutting result
a. Hold and guide the edger so that the blade
is vertical.
b. Operate at no more than a normal walking
pace.
c. Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to
bog down, you are edging too fast – slow
your pace.
d. Do not force the blade into the ground.
Light contact of the blade against the side-
walk edge, curb, etc. is acceptable and will
not damage the edger.
e. Always walk forward when cutting and
move the edger forward. Do not pull the
edger towards you.
f. Use the sight line to align the blade with the edge of the bed (Fig. 5).
g. Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid edging in wet soil or wet grass
areas where the blade guard might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the blade guard
becomes clogged, stop the motor, remove the battery pack, and remove debris from the
blade guard.
