Edging Tips

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

•If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the engine and remove the wire from the spark plug. Remove the packed dirt and debris from the blade.

•For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths. Then, cut at greater depths until the desired depth is obtained.

•For uniform edging, make sure the blade guide rides on the surface.

•Before you begin mowing, try first edging around the lawn. Use the edger along hard edges such as sidewalks and driveways.

	WARNING

	Rotating parts can contact or entangle
	hands, feet, hair, clothing, or
	accessories.
	Traumatic amputation or severe
	laceration can result.
• Operate equipment with guards in place.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling
drawstrings or items that could become
caught.
• Before unclogging the blade or making
repairs, stop the engine by releasing the
engine stop lever. Disconnect the wire from
the spark plug.
• Never leave the unit unattended while the
engine is running.
• Keep bystanders away from machine.			Operation
