Edging

Page 18 highlights

Edging Tips • 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, first cut at shallow depths. Then, cut at greater depths until the desired depth is obtained. • For uniform edging, make sure the blade guide rides on the surface. • Before you begin mowing, try first edging around the lawn. Use the edger along hard edges such as sidewalks and driveways. WARNING • Operate equipment with guards in place. • Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. • Tie up long hair and remove jewelry. • Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become caught. • Before unclogging the blade or making repairs, stop the engine by releasing the engine stop lever. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. • Never leave the unit unattended while the engine is running. • Keep bystanders away from machine. 18

Edging
Tips
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, first cut at shallow depths. Then,
cut at greater depths until the desired depth is
obtained.
For uniform edging, make sure the blade guide
rides on the surface.
Before you begin mowing,
try first edging around
the lawn. Use the edger along hard edges such as
sidewalks
and driveways.
WARNING
Operate equipment
with guards in place.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Do not wear loose-fitting
clothing, dangling
drawstrings
or items that could become
caught.
Before unclogging
the blade or making
repairs, stop the engine by releasing the
engine stop lever. Disconnect
the wire from
the spark plug.
Never leave the unit unattended
while the
engine is running.
Keep bystanders
away from machine.
