Edger Blade Angle Adjustment, Trenching

Edger Blade Angle Adjustment

WARNING: Rotating cutting blade may throw objects causing personal injury. Keep area clear of bystanders and do not operate without guards in place.

The cutting blade can be adjusted to eight positions. To adjust the blade angle, proceed as follows:

•Place the blade clutch/depth control lever in the disengaged position (top notch).

WARNING: Always place the blade clutch/ depth control lever in the DISENGAGED position before adjusting the blade angle.

•Pull forward on the blade angle adjustment lever before rotating the spindle assembly.

•Release the blade angle adjustment lever into one of the notches on the pivot bracket. See Figure 9.

Beveling

Placing the blade angle adjustment lever in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh notch (from the right) will put the spindle assembly at various angles for beveling with the edger as illustrated in Figure 12.

IMPORTANT: When the spindle assembly is rotated counter-clockwise (putting the blade closer to a horizontal position), it IS necessary to change the position of the front, left wheel to prevent the edger blade from striking the wheel. See Front Wheel Adjustment earlier in this section.
