CORRECT EDGER-TRIMMER USAGE
Read all manuals provided before operating.
These manuals give a detailed description
of operation and point out other areas of
caution. Familiarize yourself thoroughly
with equipment before attempting to use it.
CAUTION
OPERATION OF THE EDGER-
TRIMMER
Keep all shields in place. Never at-
tempt to clear discharge areas or edger-
trimmer blade wihout disengaging the
edger-trimmer and stopping the engine.
WARNING
Your edger-trimmer is designed to give a
professionally groomed appearance to your
lawn with minimum effort. It will edge lawns at
walks, around flower beds, trim close to poles
and hydrants, and also under fences and other
hard to reach locations. For best appearance
around flowers, adjust blade to 20" angle cut.
For best results, adjust the cutting depth of the
blade to within 1/2" to 1" deep (with a new blade
usually in the third notch of the adjustment bracket
at handle).
Too deep a cut will put unnecessary stress
on engine and accelerate blade wear. Cutting
too shallow allows rapid regrowth of roots.
Make sure to re-adjust cutting depth as blade
begins to wear at tips.
Avoid edging or trimming in wet grass, as it may
clog up in the blade guard and cause splattering.
The general appearance will be much better when
grass is dry.
Always push edger-trimmer at moderate walking
speed — at this speed your edger-trimmer is
designed to cut more than 100 ft. per minute.
Four-wheel design of edger-trimmer permits easy
and stable edging, riding securely on sidewalk or
cement surfaces.
Around specially shaped flower beds or curved
sections, follow these simple steps. It will be
easier to cut around corners when front wheels
are placed together at right side of trimmer-edger.
Before starting engine, remove wheel spacer
clip on front axle, slide wheels to side away from
blade, and replace spacer.
After starting engine, set blade depth and by
slightly lifting rear wheels, guide edger-trimmer
around corners and odd angles.
