EDGING
As you become familiar with use of 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.
_WARNING: | Keep the blade area |
clean. Always release the throttle trig- ger, move the powerhead ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, disconnect the spark plug (or disconnect power- head from power source), and make sure the blade has completely stopped turning before cleaning.
SETTING THE EDGING DEPTH
,_ WARNING: Never attempt to adjust the cut depth when the engine is running. Always release the throttle trigger, wait until the blade stops turn- ing, move the powerhead ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, and discon- nect spark plug (or disconnect from power source) before making adjust- ments.
