WARNING
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconscious- ness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.
1. Before edging, water the area to soften the ground to make edging easier.
2 Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that could be thrown.
3. 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.
