clothing
With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s hand is

the J-handle
The unit is at waist level
The edger wheel is adjusted for proper cut depth and
the edger is positioned as shown in Fig. 15.

ADJUSTING EDGER CUTTING DEPTH
1. Loosen the adjustment knob above the wheel
(Fig 16).
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. At first, edge at a lower depth.
Then edge the area again with a deeper setting.
•Walk the edger at a slow, even pace
Check the blade’s condition often. As the blade wears,
it becomes smaller, reducing the cutting depth
performance. Replace with a new blade as required.

HANGER
A plastic hanger (Fig. 17) comes in the hardware pack.
Use it to hang up the edger, cutting attachment, or other
add-on out of the way when not in use. Push the release
button on the shaft housing and pull the hanger to
remove. Align the hole in the hanger with the release
button on the shaft housing and push on to install.
