Using a Hand-held Edger

Guidelines for Operating the Edger

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.

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. See Figure 16.

Do not move the edger into the work so fast that the engine or blade bogs down.

CAUTION!

Low-speed edging can lead to prema- ture clutch failure.

Do not pull the unit backward over the ground with the engine running. Doing so will tend to bury the blade.

Regular and frequent use of the edger will make a neater lawn, and a frequently trimmed edge will be easier to maintain.

WARNING!

nWear eye protection, long pants, and boots when operating this machine!

nWhenever 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!

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. See Figure 17.

2.Raise or lower the guide wheel to the desired setting. See Figure 17a.

3.Tighten the guide wheel adjusting knob firmly . See Figure 17.

WARNING!

Never adjust the guide wheel while the engine is running.

NOTE

Guide wheel adjustment is also required to compensate for blade wear.

WARNING!

Use only Shindaiwa replace- ment edger blades.
