USING THE EDGER

See Figure 6.

When using the edger, hold the unit with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. The edger should be held at a comfortable position with the motor about hip height.

NOTE: Always operate at full throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the muffler.

OPERATING TIPS

The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower beds, curbs, and similar areas.

Use the arrow guide on the blade guard to align the blade with the edging surface.

Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down, you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force the blade into the ground.

Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge, curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.

Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade guard might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the blade guard becomes clogged, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away from spark plug, and remove debris from the blade guard.
