APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purpose listed below:
Edging around walkways, curbing, and other similar areas
USING THE EDGER ATTACHMENT
See Figure 3.
When using the edger attachment, hold the unit with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
The edger should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
NOTE: When the attachment is being used on a power head with a gasoline engine, always operate at full throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler.
Fig. 3
OPERATING TIPS
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower beds, curbs, and similar areas.
Use the arrow guide on the blade guard to align the blade with the edging surface.
Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down, you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force the blade into ground.
Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge, curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.
Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade guard might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the blade guard becomes clogged, stop the engine, remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply, and remove debris from the blade guard.
