EDGING TIPS

•Edging is best performed when conditions are dry. If the soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed in and around the blade causing premature belt wear and decreased performance.

•If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the engine, remove the spark plug wire, and remove the packed debris before continuing to edge.

•If very deep edging is required, we recommend that a shallow cut be made first, then cuts at greater depth until the desired depth is obtained.

•Uniform edging can be performed when the blade guide (see figure on page 6) rides on and against the surface which you are edging.

•Edging can be customized by varying the number of passes and by the distance your blade is from the surface you are edging.
