HOLDING THE UNIT WITH EDGER ADD-ON
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position
(Figs. 4 & 5). Check for the following:
The operator is wearing eye protection and proper
clothing.
The right arm is slightly bent, and the hand is holding
the shaft grip.
The left arm is straight, and the hand is holding the
handle.
The unit is at waist level.
The edger wheel adjusted for proper cut depth and
edger positioned as shown in Figs. 4 or 5.
ADJUSTING EDGER CUTTING DEPTH
1. Loosen the adjustment knob above the wheel
(Fig 6).
2. Slide the wheel to the desired position.
Raising the wheel increases the cutting depth.
Lowering the wheel decreases the cutting depth.
3. Tighten the adjustment knob securely.
TIPS FOR BEST EDGING RESULTS
Keep the cutting attachment perpendicular to the
ground.
Do not force the edger. Edge the first time at a lesser
depth,(No more than 1/2” depth cut per pass), then do
the area again with a deeper setting.
Walk the edger at a slow, even pace
Check the blade condition, as it wears it becomes
smaller, reducing the cutting depth performance.
Replace with a new blade as required.
