How to Adjust Cutting Depth
D
Move the Depth Control Lever rearward to increase the
depth. (See Figure 7)
NOTE: There are 4 cutting depth settings from approximately
ground level to 2.5” (63 mm) deep.
Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge
too deep at too fast a rate. To edge at deeper settings,
make multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths.

EDGING TIPS
WARNING
Read the Operator’s manual. Know location and functions of all controls. Keep all safety devices and shields in place.
Never allow children or uninstructed adults to operate the edger. Keep bystanders away from machine. Keep away from
the blade and all rotating parts, which cause injury.
• Edging is best performed when conditions are dry. If the soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed around the blade
causing premature belt wear and decreased performance.
• If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the engine and remove the wire from the spark plug. Remove the
packed dirt and debris from the blade.
• Fordeepedging,rstcutatshallowdepths.Then,cutatgreaterdepthsuntilthedesireddepthisobtained.
• Edging can be customized by varying the number of passes and the distance between the blade and the edge of
sidewalk, driveway, or curb.
