–Before edging, water the area to soften the ground and make edging easier.
–Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that could be thrown..
–Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to avoid having to make more than one pass.
Note:
Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height between the hard surface and the top of the grass.
–Adjust the blades’ depth of cut to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and grass using a minimum blade depth, usually with about 1/2” of the blade into the ground.
Note:
–The blades’ depth of cut is adjusted by moving the blade guard.
–Adjust blades’ depth of cut by loosening the grip bolt, moving the guard toward the operator to reduce depth or away from the operator to increase depth, and then retightening the bolt.
–When starting to edge, run the engine at full throttle, and lower the blade gently into the ground, being careful not to hit the concrete with the blade.
–Do not force the blade rotate more than the normal rotation.
