Warning. The unit may become very hot during use.
Avoid contact during and immediately after operation.
Landscaping / trenching
Before landscaping or trenching, inspect and ensure there
are no exposed or buried cables or pipes or other objects
that may create a hazard or interfere with operating the
edger. Lift the edge guide lever (6) for all trenching. Set
depth to only that required for the job, do not overload,
if tool slows, pull back slightly and wait until the blade
returns to normal speed.
Changing the Blade
Position the edger on its side with the Blade uppermost.
Ensure the surface you are working on is clean and
foreign particles (stones etc) cannot enter the air intake
slots of the motor housing.
Place the large flange spanner
over the outer blade flange.
Fit the blade spanner over
the blade lock nut and while
holding firmly the spanner on
the blade flange, rotate the
locking nut in an anti-clockwise
direction.
Remove the lock nut completely
along with the outer flange and
blade.
There is no need to remove the
inner flange although on re
assembly the area of the inner
flange must be free of foreign
particles of dirt etc.
To re assemble with the a new
blade fit the inner flange on to
the spindle, fit the replacement
blade and secure the outer
flange on to the spindle and blade.
Ensure the assembly is correct
and the blade is correctly
orientated by checking the
diagram below.
With the spanner fitted to the
outer flange, fit the locking
nut and tighten with the blade
spanner in a clockwise direction.
After the blade is secure, rotate
the blade by hand to ensure the
blade is not making contact with
any components of the edger.
Blade wear is expected
whenever you use your edger.
Blades wear quite quickly
when edging along concrete
paths. This does not effect the
efficiency of the edger and is
expected due to the aggressive abrasion of concrete
on steel.
Edger blades are not a warranty item! Edger blades are
available from your local Hardware store.
Maintenance
WARNING. The engine of the petrol edger must be at
a complete stop during assembling, repair and cleaning
operations that could be necessary.
Air filter
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine
efficiency. Increase fuel consumption and allow abrasive
particles to pass into the engine. Remove the air filter as
often as necessary to maintain a clean condition.
