OPERATION
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 7 - 8.
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 engine. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
move it away from spark plug.
Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up
to increase the depth or down to decrease the depth.
After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
Reconnect the spark plug wire and start the unit.
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 progres-
sively until the desired depth is reached.
