so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The
use of attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
USING THE EDGER ATTACHMENT
See Figure 3.
When using the edger attachment, hold the product with
your right hand on the rear or right handle and your left
hand on the front or left handle. Keep a rm grip with both
hands while in operation.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 4-5.
To adjust the blade depth:
■ Stop the product, disconnect from the power supply or
remove the battery pack (if applicable), and make sure
all moving parts have come to a stop.
■ Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up
to increase the depth or down to decrease the depth.
■ After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 12 mm to 25 mm
deep initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth.
If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done
progressively until the desired depth is reached.
OPERATING TIPS
■ The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways,
flowerbeds, curbs, and similar areas.
■ Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down,
you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force
the blade into ground.
■ Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge,
curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.
■ Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid
edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade
guard might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the
blade guard becomes clogged, stop the product, and
disconnect from the power supply, or remove the
battery pack (if applicable), and make sure all moving
parts have come to a stop then remove debris from the
blade guard.
