Adjust correctly
The depth of cut is influenced by uneven 
ground as well as height and working 
position of the operator. For this reason,
N adjust the wheel (2) so that the 
blade (3) barely touches the ground 
when the machine is held in a 
normal working posture or 
penetrates the ground at most to a 
depth (B) of 5 mm.
N Tighten wingnut clockwise
N Standing in the normal working 
position, check the depth of cut 
again – correct it if necessary
WARNING
Do not adjust the deflector.
The deflector has been set by the 
manufacturer so that the arrow on the 
deflector and the open side point away 
from the operator. This ensures that 
cuttings and other debris will be directed 
away from the machine and operator.
Edging
N Start the engine
N Start the cut at at least half throttle 
and continue cutting at full throttle
N Hold and guide the unit so that the 
blade is vertical
N Cut steadily so that the engine 
speed does not decline to any major 
extent – do not apply force
N Cut at 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
