OPERATION
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark
plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
serious personal injury or property damage.
ADJUSTING EDGER BLADE DEPTH
See Figures 12 - 13.
Depth of the cut is determined by the distance from the
bottom of the wheel to the tip of blade.

Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire or
disconnect from the power source.
 Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up
to increase the depth and down to decrease the depth.
 After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
 Replace the spark plug wire or connect to the power
supply and start the unit.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 1 in. (1.2 to
2.5 cm) deep initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting
depth. If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be
done progressively until the desired depth is reached.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here.
For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorized
service dealer.
