OPERATION
ADJUSTING EDGER BLADE DEPTH
See Figures 12 - 13.
Depth of the cut is determined by the distance from the bottom of the wheel to the tip of blade.
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power source.
Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up to increase the depth and down to decrease the depth.
After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob securely.
Replace the spark plug wire or connect to the power supply and start the unit.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 1 in. (1.2 to
2.5cm) deep initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done progressively until the desired depth is reached.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorized service dealer.
