CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
Z_ WARNING: Never run the engine
indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands,
feet, hair and loose clothing away from any
moving parts on the engine or Edger. Avoid
the muffler and surrounding areas. Tem-
peraturas may exceed 150° F.
EDGING TIPS
Edging is best performed when conditions
are dry. If the soil is too wet, dirt becomes
packed in and around the blade causing
premature belt wear and decreased
performance.
If dirt does become packed around the
blade, stop the engine, remove the spark
plug wire, and remove the packed debris
before continuing to edge.
If very deep edging is required, we
recommend that a shallow cut be made
first, then cuts at greater depth until the
desired depth is obtained.
Uniform edging can be performed when
the blade guide (see figure on page 6)
rides on and against the surface which
you are edging.
Edging can be customized by varying the
number of passes and by the distance
your blade is from the surface you are
edging.
