wheel enough so the unit will be level.
7. Loosen the rear wheel knob.
8.
Lower the right rear wheel enough so the unit will be level.
9. Securely tighten the rear wheel knob.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when edging along a curb. Make sure
the unit is balanced. Make sure of your footing. Stay alert
for trafc or other hazards.
Edging Tips
WARNING
Read the Operator’s manual. Know location and functions
of all controls. Keep all safety devices and shields in place.
Never allow children or uninstructed adults to operate the
edger. Keep bystanders away from machine. Keep away
from the blade and all rotating parts, which cause injury.
Edging is best performed when conditions are dry. If the
soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed around the blade
causing premature belt wear and decreased performance.
If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the
engine and remove the wire from the spark plug.
Remove the packed dirt and debris from the blade.
For deep edging, rst cut at shallow depths. Then, cut at
greater depths until the desired depth is obtained.
Edging can be customized by varying the number of
passes and the distance between the blade and the edge
of sidewalk, driveway, or curb.
