C How to Stop the Edger

Release the start lever (See Figure 6). This will ground out the engine through the flameout wire, causing the engine to stop.

WARNING

The flameout wire terminals must be securely connected for the Start Lever to function. Refer to the “How to assemble the handle” section.

D How to Adjust Cutting Depth

Move the Depth Control Lever rearward to increase the depth. (See Figure 7)

NOTE: There are 4 cutting depth settings from approximately ground level to 2.5” (63 mm) deep.

CAUTION

Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge too deep at too fast a rate. To edge at deeper settings, make multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths.

EDGING TIPS

WARNING

Read the Operator’s manual. Know location and functions of all controls. Keep all safety devices and shields in place. Never allow children or uninstructed adults to operate the edger. Keep bystanders away from machine. Keep away from the blade and all rotating parts, which cause injury.

•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.

•Edging can be customized by varying the number of passes and the distance between the blade and the edge of sidewalk, driveway, or curb.
