1. General information
To give the complete finish when cutting lawns
fix the Lawn Edger onto the Egholm 2100.
The Lawn Edger cuts the edges of the grass
efficiently and at an even pace, and the cut
edge is cultivated in one and the same
procedure.
The Lawn Edger is fully hydraulic, and the
working depth is adjusted to the situation with
the adjustable gauge wheel.
The blade on the Lawn Edger is changeable,
which means that you can choose whether to
cut inwards or outwards. The blade is changed
according to the placing of the machine in
relation to the edge of the lawn.
Useful tips
Best results are achieved when the ground is a
little damp.
Never drive too fast for the Lawn Edger to cut
the edge cleanly.
Wipe the snap couplings before fitting, as this
protects the hydraulic system.
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend the
lifetime of both the machine and the attachment.
