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 regulate the speed and time re- quired for your edging 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, push and release the engine ON/STOP switch, disconnect the spark plug and make sure the blade has completely stopped turn- ing 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, push and release the en- gine ON/STOP switch, and disconnect spark plug before making adjustments.
