c)Tighten the wing nut and bolt.

3.Rotate the edge guide. Accomplish this by loosening its wing nut slightly and turning the guide to the left (when facing the unit away from the engine). Turn the guide about 90˚ (Fig. 13) or until it resembles the position shown in Figure 14.

6.Line up the cutting line with the edge of the sidewalk. The edge guide wheel will run parallel to the cutting line and roll a couple inches from the end of the sidewalk.

7.Squeeze the throttle control. The cutting attachment will trim the grass at the location where the two surfaces meet, producing a cleanly trimmed edge.

8.When you are done using the edger, move it out of the way. Loosen its wing nut and rotate the edger 180˚ from it the position shown in Figure 13. The edger will rest above the cutting attachment guard. Re-tighten the wing nut and operate the trimmer normally.

USING THE EDGER AS A DEPTH GUIDE

The edge guide is also effective as a depth guide when trimming next to solid structures like walls, block fences or foundations (Fig. 15).

To adjust the guide’s length, loosen the depth adjustment nut that is located on top of the guide (Fig. 15). Next, pull the guide out as far as it will go. This length is equal to the length of the trimming line. Tighten the wing nut.

Using the edge guide in this manner will greatly reduce line wear. Without it, trimming line will wear away more quickly as is repeatedly hits the structure you’re trimming near.

4.Start the unit following the instructions described in Starting/Stopping Instructions.

5.Hold the shaft grip with your left hand and the D-handle with your right (Fig. 14).

NOTE: You must use the edger in the left-handed position shown in Figure 14. Operation in any other position may cause poor performance and could starve the engine of fuel.
