Pull-Up Edge Guide (Fig. I, J)
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
16
can be adjusted so that the edger
will also perform trenching or landscapingoperations.
To Change Position of the Edge Guide
• To use without the edge guide, pull edge guide knob
15
away from the housing and slide the edge guide knob to
the upper guide notch
26
on the housing.
NOTE: In this position the edge guide is raised and the
blade can more easily trench or cut along the edges

does not move when adjusting depth. Ensure
the small guard is located toward the bottom of the
depth adjustment wheel
13
. Do not operate edger if
the small guard is not inplace.
The depth of cut can be adjusted to allow a deeper or
shallower cut, and to increase the life of the blade. There

Wall Mounting
Some DEWALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
