Edger Operator in Operating
Position
Prohibition - Edger Operation
w/Electric Cord on Ground
Debris Removal with Scraper
WARNING
Edger operation may scatter ground debris that
can cause unstable or slippery footing, and in-
crease the risk of slips and falls. Always maintain
proper footing and balance while operating edger.
Stop unit if necessary, and remove excessive
debris from work path before continuing.
ALWAYS maintain control using a secure, wrap-
around, two-handed grip when operating the power
edger. If the edger strikes a buried object, it may
kick up and out of the edging cut forcefully, causing
serious injury.
NEVER operate with unit on left side of operator.
Use only on right side of body to keep operator out
of edger debris flow.
ALWAYS maintain a stable, balanced stance, and
use extra care when walking on uneven, slippery, or
sloping surfaces.
ALWAYS use extreme care when walking on wet
surfaces. Wet surfaces reduce traction, and in-
crease the risk of slips and falls.
ALWAYS be aware of ground and walkway condi-
tions in the work area, and be prepared to maintain
balance and footing when conditions change.
ALWAYS check edging area for all potential haz-
ards before edging, and remove objects that can be
thrown or cause kick-out.
NEVER edge where the cut line passes directly
over buried hazards such as sprinkler pipes, electric
wiring, gas lines, or other similar hazards.
NEVER operate edger in any area where electric
extension cords are on the ground.
NEVER use edger in gravel, rocky soil, or in areas
with hard ground cover such as decorative rocks.
NEVER attempt to clear debris build-up from debris
shield by tapping shield against the ground.
ALWAYS shut engine off, wait for blade to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire. Remove debris with a
small non-scratching scraper. Wear gloves to
protect hands from contact with sharp edges and hot
surfaces.
