Make yourself familiar with the area you are edging. Be aware of uneven sidewalks and holes in the terrain as well as other similar hazardous conditions (example: wire or wire rope which can break off and become a dangerous projectile). Always push the edger attachment slowly over rough ground.

Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the area of operation. Use care in di- recting discharge to avoid glass enclosures, automobiles, and the like.

Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from power supply before attempting to remove any obstruction caught or jammed in the blade, installing attachment, or making any adjustments.
