ASSEMBLY
The edger attachment is fully assembled at the factory and requires no further assembly.
JONING THE POWER HEAD TO THE EDGERATTACHMENT
See Figure 2.
The edger attachment connects to the power head by means of a coupler device.
1. Loosen the knob on the coupler of the power head shaft and remove the end cap from the edger
shaft.
2. Push in the button located on the edger attachment shaft. Align the button with the guide recess on
the power head coupler and slide the two shafts together. Rotate the edger attachment shaft until the
button locks into the positioning hole.
NOTE: If the button does not release completely in the positioning hole, the shafts are not locked into
place. Slightly rotate from side to side until the button is locked into place.
3. Tighten the knob securely.
REMOVING THEATTACHMENT FROM THE POWER HEAD
For removing or changing the attachment.

OPERATION
OPERATING THE EDGER
See Figure 3.
Hold the edger with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. The edger
should be held on the right side of the body. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. The
edger should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
NOTE: When the attachment is being used on a trimmer with a gasoline engine, always operate at full
throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 3.
1. The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower beds, curbs, and similar areas.
2. Use the arrow guide on the blade guard to align the blade with the edging surface.
3. Cut at steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down, you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not
force the blade into ground.
4. Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge, curb, etc. is acceptable and will not damage the
edger.
5. Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the
blade guard might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the blade guard becomes clogged, stop the
engine, remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply, and remove debris from
the blade guard.
TOADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH
See Figures 4 and 5.
Depth of the cut is determined by the distance from the bottom of the wheel to the tip of blade.
1. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power source.
2. Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up to increase the depth and down to decrease
the depth.
3. After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob securely.
4. 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 is reached.
WARNING:
Wear safety glasses or goggles when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.
