MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING EDGER CUTTING DEPTH
1. Loosen the adjustment knob above the wheel
(Fig 14).
2. Slide the wheel to the desired position.
• Raising the wheel increases the cutting depth.
• Lowering the wheel decreases the cutting depth.
3. Tighten the adjustment knob securely.
TIPS FOR BEST EDGING RESULTS
• Keep the cutting attachment perpendicular to the
ground.
• Do not force the edger. Edge the first time at a lower
depth, then do the area again with a deeper setting.
• Walk the edger at a slow, even pace
• Check the blade condition, as it wears it becomes
smaller, reducing the cutting depth performance.
Replace with a new blade as required.

the add-on shaft housing. Use it to hang up the edger,
cutting attachment, or other add-on out of the way when
not in use. Push the release button on the shaft housing
and pull the hanger to remove. Align the hole in the
hanger with the release button on the shaft housing and
push on to install.
