2.Keep the blade guard and the mad guard attached in place at all times when the unit is operated.
3.Before starting a job, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that could be thrown by the blade.
4.Do not adjust the wheel height or try to remove anything entangled to the blade with the engine running.
1.Before starting the engine, adjust the wheel height for desired cutting depth (See page 26).
2.Before starting a job, plan your direction of travel so that you can always hold the edger on you right side and can walk on a hard surface as much as possible.
3.When starting to edge, maintain the engine speed at the level required to perform edging work, and slowly have the blade cut into the edge groove.
NOTE
•Before edging, make sure the area is soft enough so the blade does not bog down.
•Do not move the edger into the work so fast that the engine or blade bogs down.
•Do not operate using starting throttle lock. It may cause unit uncontrolled, and clutch failure.
•Use care indirecting discharge to avoid bystanders, vehicles, glass, and the like.
•When the blade guard is clogged or blade stuck, stop the engine and clean it.
