If the Edger blade becomes jammed, stop the engine immediately.

Setting Depth of Cut
IMPORTANT: Set the depth of cut before you start the
engine.
1. Loosen the knob holding the guard to the plate.
2. Rotate the guard as necessary to set the depth of cut.
Note that:

Rotating the guard to raise the wheel increases the depth
of cut.
・
Rotating the guard to lower the wheel decreases the depth
of cut.
3. Make sure the guard is positioned to protect the operator
from thrown debris, then tighten the knob.

Operating Position
Before using the Multi-Cutter with Hedge Trimmer Attachment, check the following:
1. The unit should be on operator’s right side.
2. The operator’s right hand should be holding the shaft grip, with his or her fingers on the throttle trigger.
The right arm should be slightly bent.
3. The left hand should be holding the loop handle with the fingers and thumb fully enclosed around the
grip. Reposition the loop handle up or down the driveshaft if necessary for a comfortable position.
4. The Hedge Trimmer weight should be evenly distributed between the arms.
5. Make sure the cutting blades are moving (at least half throttle ) before actual cutting begins.
The Hedge Trimmer performs best at full throttle.
