WARNING: Never attempt to adjust the edger wheel when the unit is in operation. Always stop the powerhead, wait until the blade stops turning, and disconnect the spark plug (or disconnect powerhead from power source) before making adjustments.
EDGING
As you become familiar with use of your edger attachment, you will be able to determine your own operating pace. Conditions such as depth of cut and material being cut will regu- late the speed and time required for your edg- ing job.
SAllow the engine to warm up before you begin edging.
SIncrease the engine speed before placing the blade in the cut. For best results, run the en-
gine at full throttle while cutting.
S Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, automobiles, etc.
SBe careful when edging near trees or valuable
plants. The high speed metal blade may cut roots and cause damage to the plants.
SIf the blade stalls, immediately move the unit back slightly to allow the blade to restart. If the blade continues to stall, stop the engine, dis- connect the spark plug, and inspect for block- age or damage.
WARNING: Keep the blade area clean. Always release the throttle trigger, move the powerhead ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, disconnect the spark plug (or disconnect powerhead from power source), and make sure the blade has completely stopped turning before cleaning.
SETTING THE EDGING DEPTH
WARNING: Never attempt to adjust the cut depth when the engine is running. Al- ways release the throttle trigger, wait until the blade stops turning, move the powerhead ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, and dis- connect spark plug (or disconnect from pow- er source) before making adjustments.
Depth Adjustment
Knob
