USING THE EDGER ATTACHMENT
The Edger Attachment makes clean, sharp edges next to walkways, driveways, paths, planted areas,
patios, etc. See Assembly Steps, STEP 4: in Section 2 for instructions on attaching this attachment.
Take your time when edging. Decide how far away the edge is to be from the walk or drive, then
slowly proceed using the walk or drive as your sight line.
Other attachments are can be purchased separately. See Attachments below for more details.
Section 4: Operation
Tilling Patterns
1. When preparing a seedbed, go over the same path twice in
the first row, then overlap one-half the machine width on each
successive pass (Figure 10).
2. After going up and down the rows in one direction, make
second passes at a right angle across the original passes
(Figure 11). Again, overlap each pass to thoroughly pulverize
the entire seedbed area. In very hard ground, it may take three
or four passes before the desired depth is achieved.
3. If your garden is not wide enough to till lengthwise and then
crosswise, then first overlap by one-half the machine width,
followed by successive passes at one-quarter machine width.
This overlapping method assures thorough tilling.
Figure 10: Use an overlap
technique on every pass. Figure 11: Make a second set
of passes at a right angle over
the first set of passes.
