Pull-Up Edge Guide (Fig. A, F)
The edge guide is useful for cutting a straight path along
sidewalks. For landscaping or trenching in the yard the edge
guide can interfere with moving the edger through hard
soil or sod. The edge guide can be adjusted so that the tool
will also perform TRENCHING and LANDSCAPINGoperations.
To Change Position of the Edge Guide
(Fig.F, G)

sideways to unlock from the
guard tab in direction of small arrow. Lift the lever up until
the lower square notch in the lever lines up with the tab on
the guard. In this position the edge guide is lifted up so the
tool can easily cut along the edges of flower and shrubbery
beds, and around trees in preparation for trenching or
sodremoval.
Trenching
To return edge guide to lower position, pull lever sideways
and push down until guard tab fits into upper leverhole.
NOTE: You may need to tilt edger back to allow edge guide
to be moved into trenchingposition as shown in Fig. G.

is built into the switch
handle to reduce strain on the power cord. To use this
feature, simply double the extension cord as shown, about
1' (30 cm) from the end, and insert it into the end of the
handle. Hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over
the tab. Gently tug on the cord to ensure that it is firmly
retained in thehandle.
Keep extension cord clear of operator, unit, and any
obstacles at all times. Do not expose the cord to heat, oil,
water, or sharpedges.
