Your power edger is designed to
produce sharp contoured borders
around lawns and flower beds. It will cut
almost all types of grass, weeds and soft
green plants.
Preparations
If the soil is very dry, spray it with water
before you start work: this softens the
soil a little and also reduces the amount
of dust created.
Slightly damp green
plants are easier to cut.
N
Plan the best route for edging.
Always hold and operate your edger
on the right-hand side of your body.
Adjusting Cutting Depth
N
To reduce the risk of injury
, shut
off the engine.
N
Loosen the wingnut (1)
counterclockwise.
N
Adjust the wheel (2): Upwards to
increase the depth of cut (A) or
downwards to reduce the depth of
cut (A).
Adjust correctly
The depth of cut depends on the
uneveness of the ground, your height
and the way you hold the edger. Use the
following procedure:
N
Adjust the depth wheel (2) so that
the blade (3) just touches the
ground or breaks the surface of the
soil by no more than
0.2 in. (5 mm)
in the normal working position.
Using the Unit

objects from the work area.
