The blade, two spacers and hex head nut with conical washer should be attached to your edger in the order shown. Please check that the blade has been properly mounted before using your edger. The Edger blade has two wear indicators that show when blade needs to be replaced. When the blade wears to the small hole at each end of the blade it will give only 1/4" depth of cut and should be replaced.
Tip: To increase blade life, keep initial cutting depth at minimum and increase depth setting as blade wears.
