OPERATING TECHNIQUES

1.Before edging, water the area to soften the ground to make edging easier.

2Before 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.

WARNING

Never adjust blade height with engine running, otherwise serious personal injury may result.

4.Loosen adjustment knob and adjust the blade's depth of cut to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and grass using a mini- mum blade depth, usually with about 13 mm (1/2 in.) of the blade into the ground. Tighten adjustment knob.

5.Before edging, plan your direction of travel so that the unit will always be positioned on your right side and so that you walk on a hard surface whenever possible.

6.Hold edger as shown.
