the edger at high transport speeds on slippery
surfaces.
• Look behind and use care when backing.
• Never operate the edger without good visibility
or light.
• Do not run the engine indoors or inside a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are dangerous, containing

DEADLY GAS.
• Never leave the edger unattended when the
engine is running. Stop the engine and make sure
all moving parts have stopped. Remove the wire
from the spark plug.
• Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting
to till too deep at too fast a rate.
• If the edger should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire
and prevent it from touching the spark plug. Check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, or other rough
ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
