USING THE EDGER
See Figure 6.
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 motor
about hip height.
NOTE: Always operate at full throttle. Prolonged cutting
at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the
muffler.
OPERATING TIPS
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower
beds, curbs, and similar areas.
Use the arrow guide on the blade guard to align the blade
with the edging surface.
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 engine, disconnect the spark
plug wire and move it away from spark plug, and remove
debris from the blade guard.
