4.Loosen adjustment knob and adjust the blade's depth of cut to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and grass using a minimum 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.

Before edging, be sure to read and understand the entire

Operator's Manual to avoid serious injury.

7.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.

8.Don't force the blade. Move only as quickly as the blade will allow.

The complete unit, specifically the drive shaft assembly and muffler exhaust area may become very hot during use. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
