Adjust correctly
The depth of cut depends on the
uneveness of the ground, your height
and the way you hold the edger. Use the
following procedure:
N Adjust the depth wheel (2) so that
the blade (3) just touches the
ground or breaks the surface of the
soil by no more than 0.2 in
(5 mm) (B) in the normal working
position.
N Tighten down the wingnut
clockwise.
N Standing in the normal working
position, check the depth of cut
again and correct it if necessary,
The deflector has been set at the factory
so that the arrow on the deflector and
the open side point away from the
operator. This ensures that cuttings and
other debris are directed away from the
machine and operator.

N Starting the engine
N Start the cut at no less than half
throttle and continue cutting at full
throttle.

the blade is vertical.

lugged down – do not apply force.
N Cut at no more than a normal
walking pace.
N Do not push the blade into the
ground.
N Always walk forwards when cutting,
do not pull the unit towards you.
