OPERATION
After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
Replace the spark plug wire or connect to the power
supply and start the unit.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 1 in. deep
initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If the
cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done progres-
sively until the desired depth is reached.
OPERATING TIPS
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower-
beds, curbs, and similar areas.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark
plug or disconnect from power supply. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or de-
stroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here.
For other repairs, have the tool serviced by an authorized
service dealer.
REPLACING THE BLADE
See Figures 7 - 9.
Replace blades that are damaged or worn.
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire or dis-
connect from the power supply.
Align the slot in the flange washer and gear case with the
slot in the flange; place the holding pin through all three
slots to secure in place.
Using a 1/2 in. socket wrench, turn the blade nut clock-
wise to loosen.
Remove the old blade from the edger shaft.
Clean debris from the edger shaft and flange washers.
Center the new blade on the flange washer, making sure
the blade sits flat.
Install the cupped washer with the hole off of the blade
surface.
Install the blade nut onto the edger shaft.
Using a 1/2 inch socket wrench, turn the blade nut coun-
terclockwise onto the edger shaft and tighten securely.
This replacement part is available from the place of pur-
chase, or by calling 1-800-860-4050.
NOTE: Always make sure the blade is correctly installed
and securely fastened before each use.

SLOTS
Use the arrow guide on the blade guard to align the blade
with the edging surface.
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 engine, remove the
spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply,
and remove debris from the blade guard.
