Switching on
Your GMC EDG3 is fitted with two safety levers to prevent accidental operation of the tool.
To turn on the edger pull in one or both Safety levers (3) and press the power switch (2) fully down.
Hold one or both of the levers in to maintain power to the unit. To stop the edger, release levers.
Take care when you turn the edger “On” that the cutter is in a safe position to operate.
Edge Guide
The edge guide is used when edging is required against a solid material like a paved surface. It is important to ensure the edge guide is used in these conditions as the edge guide will assist in preventing the blade from making direct contact with the paved surface.
•To set the edge guide in the Down position, grasp the Edge Guide Lever (6) and move the knob sideways toward the centre of the edger and then push downwards.
Note: The Edge Guide Lever should be returned to the upright position to lock the Guide in the down position.
•To set the edge guide in the Up position, grasp the Edge Guide Lever and move the knob sideways toward the centre of the edger and then pull upwards to lift the guide.
Note. The Edge Guide Lever should be returned to the upright position to lock the Guide in the raised position.
Cutting Depth
The Cutting Depth of the edger can be altered to one of 3 settings to a Max of approx 38mm.
1.To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the Height adjustment knob (10) approx
2.Raise or lower the arm to the desired position, and then pull the height adjusting knob outwards. Tighten the knob until all of the slack is taken out of the assembly. Check to ensure the guide wheel arm has located into one of the pre allocated positions and the
head of the bolt securing the front wheel arm is sitting flat on the surface of the wheel arm.
Firmly tighten the height adjustment knob.
