Switch (Fig. A)
To turn tool ON, squeeze the trigger switch
7
. The trigger
has been designed so that it is very easy to hold in the ON
position. To turn tool OFF, release thetrigger.
NOTE: The edger is a major appliance and should not be
operated simultaneously with other major appliances on
the same householdcircuit.
Usage
1. Set cut depth at 1" and set edge guide to
the down position, refer to Assembly and
AdjustmentsInstructions.
2. Before starting the edger, line up the tool so the edge
guide rests against the edge of the paved surface.
Both rear wheels should be on the paved surface
whenedging.
NOTE: When there is heavy overgrowth of grass over the
paved surface it may drag on the guard. An initial cut may
be required with the edger on the grass side. This will
require lifting up the edge guide and may require reducing
the depth of cut (refer to To Change Position of the Edge
Guideinstructions).
Blade (Fig. I)

DANGER: Unplug tool. Wait for blade to
come to completestop.
The blade
13
, two spacers
14
and hex head nut
15
with
conical washer should be attached to your edger in the
order shown. Please check that the blade has been properly
mounted before using your edger. The edger blade has two
wear indicators that show when blade needs to be replaced.
When the blade wears to the small hole at each end of the
blade it will give only 1/4 " (6 mm) depth of cut and should
bereplaced.
NOTE: To increase blade life, keep initial cutting depth at
minimum and increase depth setting as bladewears.

and guard if necessary to hold
the blade fromturning.
2. Ensure inner spacer is on shaft—”flats” in spacer hole
must engage with “flats” onshaft.
3. Holding the spacer in place, put the blade on the shaft,
as shown (FigureI).
4. Hold the blade against the spacer and install the outer
spacer, again aligning the flats in the spacer with the
flats on theshaft.
5. Install the hex head nut and conical washer, then
tighten with awrench.
NOTE: Replace hex head nut and conical washer only
with identical replacementpart.
