TECHNICAL DATA

We recommend that you purchase your accessories from the same store that sold you the tool.  Refer to the accessory packaging for further details. Store personnel can assist you and offer advice

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE BLADE

The blade, two spacers and hex head nut with conical washer should be attached to your Edger in the order shown. Check that the blade has been properly mounted before using your Edger. The Edger Blade has two wear indicators that show when the original blade needs to be replaced. When the blade wears to the small holes, it should be replaced.(See Fig. G1&G2)

EDGING

1.  Before starting the edger, line up the tool so the edge guide rests against the edge of the paved surface. Both rear wheels should be on the paved surface when edging. (See Fig D2)
2. To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle down so the blade is above the ground (See Fig D3).
3. Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin without moving tool.
4.  Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, finding the edge of the paved surface and start edging. Then move tool forward slowly along edge of paved surface, keeping the edge guide pressed lightly against the pavement edge. For the first edging each season, it is best to move forward slowly because grass is thickest then.

STORAGE

Remove and clean any debris from the outside of the edger and inside of guard before storage. See MAINTENANCE section. If necessary, the edger may be stored by hanging on a hook by its handle.

CAUTION: DO NOT HANG EDGER ON THE SWITCH TRIGGER OR POWER CORD!

Note: Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations. Use only identical replacement parts. Inspect and thoroughly clean your edger at the beginning of each edging season for longer life and better performance.
