Edging Tips

Edging is best performed when conditions are dry. If the soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed around the blade causing premature belt wear and decreased performance.

If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the engine and remove the wire from the spark plug. Remove the packed dirt and debris from the blade.

For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths. Then, cut at greater depths until the desired depth is obtained.

For uniform edging, make sure the blade guide rides on the surface.

Before you begin mowing, try first edging around the lawn. Use the edger along hard edges such as sidewalks and driveways.
