STARTING AND STOPPING
See Figure 4.
To start the motor:
Connect the edger to power supply.
Fully depress the lock-off button.
Fully depress the switch trigger.
Release the lock-off button.
To stop the motor:
Release the switch trigger.
ADJUSTING TELESCOPING POLE
See Figure 5.
Disconnect the edger from the power supply.
Rotate the collar counterclockwise to loosen.
Push poles towards each other to shorten the pole or pull
away from each other to lengthen the pole.
When the desired length is achieved, rotate the collar clock-
wise to secure.
NOTE: Adjust hand placement on the shaft of the edger to
keep proper balance. Do not attempt to use the edger at a
length which does not allow you to achieve proper footing and
balance at all times.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 6 - 7.
The depth of cut is determined by the distance from the
bottom of the wheel to the tip of blade.
To adjust the blade depth:
Stop the motor and unplug the edger.
Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel up to
increase the depth or down to decrease the depth.
After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 1 in. deep
initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If
the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done
progressively until the desired depth is reached. To increase
blade life span, keep initial cutting depth at minimum and
increase depth setting only as blade wears.
USING THE EDGER
When using the edger, hold the unit with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Keep
a firm grip with both hands while in operation. The edger
should be held at a comfortable position with the handle
about hip height.
OPERATING TIPS
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower
beds, and curbs.
Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down,
you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force the
blade into the ground.

Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge, curb,
etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.
Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid
edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade guard
might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the blade guard
becomes clogged, stop the motor, unplug the edger, wait
for blade to stop rotating, and remove debris from the
blade guard.
