EDGING
trench around sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc. Beveling removes more material and therefore increases motor load. Be careful to cut slowly to avoid motor stalling or overload, which may damage the motor.
BEVELING
OPERATING TIPS
S Allow the blade to reach full speed before placing the blade in the cut. Be careful to cut slowly to avoid mo- tor stalling or overload, which may damage the motor.
S Keep your edging path straight by keeping the edge guide in contact with the edge of the walkway.
S Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, automobiles, etc.
S Be careful when edging near trees or valuable plants. The high speed met- al blade may cut roots and cause damage to the plants.
S Always keep blade area clean. Stop the unit, make sure blade has com- pletely stopped turning, and discon- nect unit from the power source be- fore cleaning.
S If blade stalls, immediately raise the blade from the cut by lowering the handle. If blade continues to stall when raised, stop the unit, discon- nect the power source, and inspect the blade area for blockage or dam- age. Clean the blade area of debris.
