EDGER BLADE REPLACEMENT

WARNING:

The blade will continue

to spin after the engine stops or after the

throttle trigger has been released. To avoid

serious injury, make sure the blade has

stopped coasting and disconnect the spark

plug before performing work on the blade.

WARNING:

Wear protective gloves

when handling or performing maintenance on

the blade to avoid injury. The blade is sharp and

can cut you even when it is not moving.

1. To remove the blade, align hole in the dust

cup with the hole in the side of the gear-

box by rotating the blade.

2. Insert a small screwdriver into aligned

holes. This will keep the shaft from turn-

ing while loosening the blade nut.

from the blade shaft.
