HOLDING THE UNIT
WARNING:
Always wear eye, hearing, hand, foot and
body protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating
this unit.
• Stand in the operating position (Fig. 4).
• Hold the shaft grip with the right hand. Keep the right arm
slightly bent.
• Hold the handle with the left hand. Keep the left arm straight.
• Hold the unit at waist level.
• Hold the unit so that it easily contacts the ground without the
need for bending over.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Keep the blade perpendicular to the ground.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make the first cut no more than 1/2"
deep. Increase the depth by 1/2" and cut the area again. Repeat
this process until the desired depth is achieved. Refer to
Adjusting the Cutting Depth.
• Cut at a slow, even pace.
• Frequently check the condition of the blade. As it wears, the
blade will become smaller, reducing the cutting depth. Replace
the blade as needed. Refer to Replacing the Edger Blade.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
1. Stop the unit and allow it to cool.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. Loosen the depth adjustment knob (Fig. 5).
4. Slide the wheel up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Moving the wheel down will decrease the cutting depth.
Moving the wheel up will increase the cutting depth.
5. Tighten the depth adjustment knob.
6. Reconnect the spark plug wire and continue use.
