OPERATING POSITION

your edger attachment, you will be able to determine your own operating pace. Conditions such as depth of cut and material being cut will regulate the speed and time required for your edg- ing job.

Allow the engine to warm up before you begin edging.

Increase the engine speed before placing the blade in the cut. For best results, run the engine at full throttle while cutting.

Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, automobiles, etc.

Be careful when edging near trees or valuable plants. The high speed metal blade may cut roots and cause dam- age to the plants.

If the blade stalls, immediately move

the unit back slightly to allow the blade to restart. If the blade continues

to stall, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and inspect for block- age or damage.

stopped turning before cleaning.
