MAINTENANCE
Storage
WARNING! Be sure the tool is
unplugged.
Remove and clean any debris from the
outside of the edger and inside of guard
before storage. See Cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT HANG EDGER
ON THE SWITCH TRIGGER OR POWER
CORD!
Note: Do not store the tool on or adjacent
to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage
can cause rapid corrosion.
Preventing Corrosion
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals
contain agents that greatly accelerate the
corrosion of metals. If you use the tool in
areas where fertilizers or chemicals have
been used, the tool should be cleaned
immediately afterwards. Do not store the
tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or
chemicals.
Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth.
You may lubricate only metal parts with a
light petroleum based oil.
When cleaning, DO NOT immerse tool in
water or squirt it with a hose.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, should be
performed by qualified service organizations.
Use only identical replacement parts.
Inspect and thoroughly clean your edger
at the beginning of each edging season
for longer life and better performance.
The cutting blades are made from high
quality, hardened steel and with normal
use, they will not require resharpening.
However, if you accidentally hit a wire
fence, stones, glass or other hard objects,
you may put a nick in the blade. There is
no need to remove this nick as long as it
does not interfere with the movement of
the blade. If it does interfere, unplug unit
and use a fine toothed file or sharpening
stone to remove the nick.
If you drop the edger, carefully inspect it
for damage. If the blade is bent, housing
cracked, or handles broken or if you see
any other condition that may affect the
edger’s operation, contact your local
Sears Service Center for repairs before
putting it back into use.
Cleaning
With the unit unplugged, use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into
a liquid.
Landscaping/Trenching
WARNING: Before Landscaping or
Trenching, inspect and ensure there are
no objects that may create a hazard or
interfere with operating the edger. Do not
overload. If tool slows, pull back slightly
and wait until blade comes up to normal
speed.
WARNING: DO NOT use the edger
with any type of accessory or attachment.
Such usage might be hazardous.
