EDGING
IMPORTANT: KEEP THE GUARD
BETWEEN THE OPERATOR AND THE
TRIMMER HEAD.
Edging maintains an existing border
between a lawn and another object such
as a sidewalk, pavement, or flower bed.
The trimmer/edger is not designed for
creating a new hard edge, but is useful
for keeping an existing edge clean.
Keep hands away from the throttle
trigger, then move the edging guard so
that it protrudes from the trimmer and
clicks into place (Fig. ).
Approach the lawn with the trimmer
turned so that the bottom of the trimmer
head is pointed toward the side of the
lawn and the edging guide is pointed
toward the ground. Position the edge
guide along the edge. (Fig. ).
In tight spaces, such as against a fence or
other barrier, it is acceptable to reverse
grip on the rear handle and hold the
trimmer/edger in a more vertical position
(Fig. ).
For extended periods of edging, it is
acceptable to rotate the front handle
(Fig. ). This may provide a more
comfortable grip.
