CORRECT EDGER-TRIMMER USAGE CAUTION Read all manuals provided before operating. These manuals give a detailed description of operation and point out other areas of caution. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with equipment before attempting to use it. OPERATION OF THE EDGERTRIMMER WARNING Keep all shields in place. Never attempt to clear discharge areas or edgertrimmer blade wihout disengaging the edger-trimmer and stopping the engine. Too deep a cut will put unnecessary stress on engine and accelerate blade wear. Cutting too shallow allows rapid regrowth of roots. Make sure to re-adjust cutting depth as blade begins to wear at tips. Avoid edging or trimming in wet grass, as it may clog up in the blade guard and cause splattering. The general appearance will be much better when grass is dry. Always push edger-trimmer at moderate walking speed - at this speed your edger-trimmer is designed to cut more than 100 ft. per minute. Four-wheel design of edger-trimmer permits easy and stable edging, riding securely on sidewalk or cement surfaces. Your edger-trimmer is designed to give a professionally groomed appearance to your lawn with minimum e ort. It will edge lawns at walks, around ower beds, trim close to poles and hydrants, and also under fences and other hard to reach locations. For best appearance around owers, adjust blade to 20" angle cut. For best results, adjust the cutting depth of the blade to within 1/2" to 1" deep (with a new blade usually in the third notch of the adjustment bracket at handle). Around specially shaped ower beds or curved sections, follow these simple steps. It will be easier to cut around corners when front wheels are placed together at right side of trimmer-edger. Before starting engine, remove wheel spacer clip on front axle, slide wheels to side away from blade, and replace spacer. After starting engine, set blade depth and by slightly lifting rear wheels, guide edger-trimmer around corners and odd angles.
