Be sure all guards are properly and securely attached.
Replace dull or worn blade; do not attempt to sharpen.
Use this edger for edging along sidewalks, driveways,
flower beds, and similar areas. Do not use for any other
purpose.
Do not use the edger on or near graveled surfaces.
Start engine carefully. Make certain all attachments are
disengaged before attempting to start. Keep hands,
feet, clothing, and the like away from blade and moving
parts.
If the edger strikes any type of foreign object:
a) Stop the edger and remove the spark plug wire or
disconnect from the power supply.
b) Inspect for damage to the edger attachment.
c) Correct damage before using the edger attachment.
Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Make yourself familiar with the area you are edging. Be
aware of uneven sidewalks and holes in the terrain as well
as other similar hazardous conditions (example: wire or
wire rope which can break off and become a dangerous
projectile). Always push the edger attachment slowly over
rough ground.
Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or
allow anyone near the area of operation. Use care in di-
recting discharge to avoid glass enclosures, automobiles,
and the like.
Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
or disconnect from power supply before attempting to
remove any obstruction caught or jammed in the blade,
installing attachment, or making any adjustments.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow excessive grass,
leaves, or grease to accumulate on the product.
Do not attempt to remove cut material nor hold material
to be cut when the engine is running or when the cutting
blade is moving.
Always keep your right hand on the rear handle and your
left hand on the front handle when the blade is rotating.
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to
spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger released.
Maintain proper control until the blade has completely
stopped rotating.
Take all possible precautions when leaving the product
unattended. Disengage attachments, shift into neutral,
and stop engine.
