Safety Information
Read This Manual Carefully And Thoroughly Before Operating The Edger!
Training
1. Carefully and thoroughly read the owner's manual. Allow adequate time to fully understand the
controls and operation of the equipment.
2. Never allow anyone to operate the edger that has not read and fully understood the owner's
manual.
Never allow children to operate the edger.
3. Keep area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets.
Before Use of Equipment
Operator:
Wear protective clothing while edging. Long trousers and safety glasses will help reduce the risk of
injury from thrown objects. It is recommended that steel toe shoes with thick soles or some other
type of substantial footwear be worn to help protect your feet and maintain traction on slopes or
uneven ground. Always wear hearing protection.
Edging Area:
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Look for items such as stones,
sticks, wire and other foreign objects. When struck by the edger, these and other objects may
become projectiles that could lead to serious injury and/or death.
Operation:
For your safety and the long life of your equipment, always inspect the edger before each use.
Before inspection, make sure it is on a flat and level surface, the blades are disengaged, the ignition
switch off with the key removed, and the spark plug wire is off of the spark plug(s) and hidden so
that accidental contact can not be made.
General Condition:
·Walk around the edger looking for any fluid spills or leaks on or underneath the edger. Remove
any and all excessive debris, dirt, and/or fluids.
·Look for signs of damage or excessive wear. Check the tightness of all nuts, bolts, pins, and
screws. Tighten any that may be loose and replace any that may have been lost during use.
·Be sure the safety interlock controls are operating properly so that the engine can not be
started unless the ground speed control lever is in neutral and the blades disengaged.
·Check the edger blades for any damage or abnormal wear and replace in sets so that they are
balanced.
·Check all belts for proper wear and correct tension.
·Check engine oil and air filters

Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the machine while
in operation
To help reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep the engine and the area around the engine free of
grass, leaves, or any other type of foreign material.
Beware of cutting edges. Always wear gloves for safety when performing blade maintenance
activities. Beware on multiple blades units since the rotation of one blade may cause the
rotation of the other blade.
Always stop the blade when crossing gravel driveways, roads, or walk ways.
Never store the edger with gasoline in the tank in a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark. Be sure engine has cooled before storing.

DANGER: GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. DO NOT ADD FUEL
WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR IS HOT. KEEP OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS, AND HEAT
AWAY FROM THE FUEL AND STORE FUEL IN CONTAINERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
FOR THAT PURPOSE. ADD FUEL OUTDOORS ONLY. REPLACE GAS CAP SECURELY AND
WIPE UP ALL SPILLED FUEL.
2. Always clean area around fuel cap before removing it to prevent excessive amounts of dirt from
entering fueling system. Also insure that the fuel storage container you are using is clean and in
good condition.
Engine Operation

11
Correct Edger/Trimmer Usage
Operation of the Trimmer/Edger
DANGER: KEEP ALL SHIELDS IN PLACE. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAR DISCHARGE
AREAS OR EDGER/TRIMMER BLADE WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE EDGER/TRIMMER
AND STOPPING THE ENGINE.
For best results when edging, adjust blade to 20° angle cut and adjust the cutting depth of the blade
to within 1/2" to 1" deep. (With a new blade use the third notch on the adjustment bracket.)
To avoid unnecessary stress on the engine and blade wear don't cut too deep.
Re-adjust cutting depth as blade begins to wear at tips.
Avoid edging or trimming in wet grass so the blade guard will not clog.
Always push edger/trimmer at moderate walking speed for the best cut.
For edging around shaped flower beds or curved areas:
Before starting the engine place the wheels closer together by removing the wheel spacer clip
on the front axle.
Slide wheels to side away from blade and replace spacer.
After starting the engine, set blade depth and slightly lift the rear wheels to add angles around
corners.
