loss of control. Working with any power tool
can be strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating the machine.
The Xtra Edger is equipped with vibration-
reducing hand grips and main handle anti-
vibration mountings. These are designed to
reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to
the operator’s hands. Replace hand grips and
mountings when worn or damaged.
The rubber handles do not guarantee that you
will not sustain whitefinger disease or carpal
tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should monitor closely the
condition of their hands and fingers. If any
of the above symptoms appear, seek medical
advice immediately.
PROPER CLOTHING

ASSEMBLING THE XTRA EDGER
FUEL MIX AND FUELING
1. Fit cross brace (Key #68) to handles (Key #35 & 36) with brace touching the ground. Use 4
screws (Key #1) and 4 locknuts (Key #2) provided in packet.
2. Fit handle assembly to edger. Insert 150mm (6”) bolt through left handle, edger body and right
handle. Screw large wing nut (Key #85) on bolt (Key #31) so that bolt end is approximately flush
(level) with face of the center boss of the large wing nut. This allows handle “platform” to “float”
without vibration. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN WING NUT.
3. Fit throttle (Key #50) to right handle (Key #36). Clip in throttle cable/ignition switch wire with
2 cable clamps (Key #60) attached to handle. THROTTLE CABLE FROM ENGINE MUST BE
FITTED UNDER HANDLE. DO NOT LOOP OVER HANDLE.

Your Little Wonder Xtra Edger is powered by a
commercial, two-stroke, air cooled engine
which requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and
two-cycle oil.
Use a mixture of 50 parts unleaded regular
gasoline and 1 part two-cycle oil (50:1). Use
branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline or gasohol
(maximum 10% ethyl alcohol, or 15% MTBE,
no methyl alcohol.)

Here’s how to mix the oil with the gas:
1. Pour 1/2 gallon of the gasoline into a safe
one gallon container. Do not mix the fuel
and oil in the engine fuel tank.
2. Add 2.6 ounces (50:1 ratio) of two-cycle
engine oil to the gasoline and mix. Then
add the other 1/2 gallon of gasoline.
3. Screw the cap onto the gasoline can.
Then swirl the can to blend the oil and gas.
4. Carefully pour the fuel mix into the Xtra
Edger’s fuel tank. After putting the fuel
tank’s cap back on, wipe up spilled
fuel from tank and gasoline can.
IMPORTANT:
Two-cycle fuel separates and ages. Do not mix
more than you will use in a month. Using old
fuel can cause difficult starting or engine
damage. Shake fuel container to thoroughly
mix fuel before each use. Do not attempt to run
your engine on gasoline only; this will cause
engine failure and void engine warranty.
Need pre-measured engine oil? Contact your
local authorized Little Wonder dealer.
Remember...
•Always mix two-cycle oil with gasoline
before fueling your edger. Never, ever run
your Edger on gasoline alone. This will ruin
your engine and void all warranties.
•Always use a clean gas can and always use
unleaded gas.
•Never try to mix the oil and gasoline in the
engine fuel tank.
•Always mix oil and gas in the proper
proportions: 2.6 ounces of two-cycle engine
oil to one gallon of unleaded gasoline.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT use old or stale oil/gasoline
mixture. Always use the proper
oil/ gasoline mixture. If you do not,
your engine will suffer rapid,
permanent damage and you will
void the engine warranty.

WARNING DANGER
Pressure may build up in the canister. Remove fuel cap slowly
to avoid injury from fuel spray. Replace fuel cap securely.
Clean the fuel cap and canister from time to time.
Take care when handling gasoline. Avoid direct
contact with the skin and avoid inhaling fuel vapor.
Change fuel pickup filter at least once every year or more frequently, depending on use.
Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt
falls into the tank. Never mix the gasoline and oil in the fuel tank of the engine.
Always allow engine to cool before refueling. Accidental spillage of gasoline over a hot
engine could cause fire or explosion to occur. See Page 6 - Safety Precautions, Fueling.
Fill or add fuel to the tank only when the edger is in a horizontal position as shown
(Fig. 7). Allow engine to cool down for at least 5 minutes before adding fuel.

FUEL MIX

STARTING AND STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place lawn edger on ground in horizontal
position (see Fig. 9C). Be sure the ignition
switch is “ON.” Pull switch toward
operator to turn ON. Switch is located
on right side of trigger (see Fig. 8).
2. COLD START: Move choke lever up to
start (closed) position (Fig. 9A). Press and
release primer 3 or 4 times until the fuel
flows into the clear tube (Fig. 9B). Place
one foot on the cross brace. Make sure you
have a firm footing. Hold down engine
with left hand and with right hand, pull the
starter grip slowly until you feel it engage -
and then give it a fast pull (Fig. 9C).
Do not pull out starter rope more than 26”
(65 cm) - it might break.
3. Stand between handles to start. Do not let
starter grip snap back. Guide it back slowly
so that the starter rope can rewind slowly.
4. PULL THE STARTER ROPE BRISKLY
until you hear the engine sound like it
wants to run or runs then stops (normally
1-5 pulls).
5. Open choke gradually (open position,
Fig. 9A) to allow engine to run.
10
NOTE: In warm temperatures or with hot
engine, this step may not be necessary.
6. HOT OR WARM START: (Engine has
already been started and warmed up.)
Switch ignition “ON.” Pull starter until
engine runs.
WARNING
The blade will rotate when engine is
idling fast or when engine is cold).
TO STOP ENGINE move ignition switch
forward into the “OFF” position (Fig. 8).
▲

FIG 8
FIG 9C
FIG 9A FIG 9B

NOTE: Abuilt-in automatic centrifugal clutch
disengages the blade from rotating at engine
idle speed. The clutch engages the blade when
the engine speed is increased.
7. Throttle trigger (engine accelerator control)
is operated by pushing down interlock with
thumb and pulling on trigger (Fig. 8).
8. FLOODED ENGINE: (Engine will not
start.) If smoke or fuel comes from exhaust
and engine will not start.
i. Check that ignition switch is “ON,”
CHOKE LEVER is on RUN position.
ii. Pull starter rope up to 10 times to clear
engine of fuel so it can start.
iii. If engine has excessive fuel that cannot
be cleared by i and ii above, remove
spark plug from engine and from spark
plug terminal, crank engine to clear
excess fuel, wipe and dry spark plug of
all fuel, re-install spark plug and
terminal, and restart as above.
IMPORTANT: After 1 hour of use, tighten all
screws (especially 9 screws around gear case).
Check after every 20 hours of use.
9. To stop motor, push switch slide on throttle
trigger side forward.
Anti-Vibration (AV) Adjustment
Handle nut can be tightened to mark on knob
to obtain best AV effect to reduce handle
vibrations.
During Break-In Period
Afactory-new machine should not be run at
high revs (full throttle) without any load. This
avoids unnecessary wear during the break-in
period. As all moving parts have to set during
break-in period, frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period. Engine
develops its maximum power after about 5 to 15
tank fillings.
After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Keep the unit in a
dry place until you need it again. Do not store
where open flame or electrical machinery is
operating.
Storing for a long period: Drain the fuel tank
and run engine until carburetor is dry.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The Xtra Edger is very easy and simple to
use. For some people, it may take a few
edgings to become an expert.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
edger is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wires and other foreign objects.
3. Adjust blade height (Fig. 10). With a
new blade, try the second hole closest
to operator.
11
WARNING
Only operate unit when moving forward.
DO NOT operate walking backwards,
as you may trip, fall and injure yourself.
▲
!▲
!
WARNING
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY,
NEVER CARRY THE EDGER WHILE
THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
Stay clear of the rotating blade.
Stop the engine prior to making
adjustments and cleaning.

FIG 12A
FIG 11
10. Sideways Tilting: Lower either left or right
handle to achieve angle cutting (Fig 12D).
11. Clutch: The Xtra Edger is equipped with
a centrifugal clutch. DO NOT run edger at
low speeds or, if blade is jammed, at high
speeds as clutch shoes will prematurely
wear out and cause damage.
FIG 12B
FIG 12C FIG 12D
4. With both arms fully extended downwards
(see illustration on front cover), hold both
handle grips firmly. With the engine
running, pull the throttle trigger to increase
engine speed.
5. If blade is not deep enough, or if digging
is too deep, adjust blade height or slightly
raise or lower handles to suit depth required
(Fig. 11). However, it is always more
comfortable and relaxed to have arms fully
extended downwards.
6. As cutting action begins, push the lawn
edger forward so that the blade can cut the
edge as you move forward (Fig. 12A).
7. Continue at a moderate pace until you are
familiar with the controls and the handling
of the Xtra Edger.
8. If blade jams or stops in the ground
(Fig. 12B), lower handles or pull back unit
and recommence. Control engine and
cutting speed to suit work being done.
When cutting efficiently, engine speed
should be full throttle under load.
9. Edging along Concrete edge: For position
of blade, align edge guide on top of blade
cover with edge of concrete. If blade hits
concrete, lower handles and re-position
blade at side of concrete. Even with the
grass growing over the concrete and you
cannot see the edge, you can feel the edge
of the concrete with the rotating blade by
slightly sideways tilting the handles of
the edger away from the concrete so that
the blade tilts towards the concrete and
touches or “kisses” the concrete edge and
acts as a guide (Fig 12C). Edger blades are
made from high tensile hardened spring
steel and will last a long time. Once the
edge is established the second and
subsequent times around are very fast
especially when the blade kisses or touches
the concrete edge (Fig 12C).

FIG 14
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Clean and re-oil the air filter every 5
hours of operation or daily. The air filter is one
of the most important areas to maintain. If it is
not maintained, you will void the warranty.
Before cleaning, make sure the unit is turned off.
1. Wash the two filters in detergent and water
(Fig. 13). Rinse the filter thoroughly and
allow it to dry.
2. Apply enough clean two-cycle oil or
SAE 30 oil to saturate the filters when
squeezed. Squeeze the filters to spread the
oil and to remove excess oil (Fig. 13).
Reinstall the mesh screen and plate screen,
two air filters and air filter cover (Fig 14).
NOTE: If the unit is operated with a dry or
dirty filter or without the air filter and/or
carburetor/air filter cover, you will void
the warranty.
FUEL FILTER
When the engine runs short of fuel supply and
the tank has gasoline in it, clean the fuel filter
for blockage (Fig. 15).
THROTTLE CABLE
The normal play is .040” to .080” when
measured at the carburettor side. Re-adjust with
the cable adjustor as required (Item 1, Fig. 16).
NOTE: Throttle cable wire is not to be pulled
tight (against trigger throttle). Trigger to have
small initial movement before it pulls cable and
carburettor throttle lever.
ENGINE IDLING SPEED
It is normal that the engine keeps running with-
out the blade rotating, when the throttle lever is
released. When the engine speed is too high or
too slow, readjust the idle set screw
(Item 2, Fig. 16).

BLADE REPLACEMENT
1. Stop engine. Clean area around dust cover
and pry out with screwdriver (Fig. 17).
2. Through dust cover hole, place 14 mm
socket. On blade end of shaft, place 18 mm
wrench on blade nut (Fig. 18).
3. Unscrew nut (Key #40) counter-clockwise
(normal right hand thread).
4. Remove one small washer (Key #16), one
large washer (Key #17) and one straight
then one formed blade (Key #10). Before
installing blade and washers, clean all grit
and grease. Assemble these parts clean and
dry. Fit large washer (Key #17), new
blades (Key #10) with flat blade on inside
then overlapping formed blade, large
washer (Key #17), one small washer
(Key #16), and nut (Key #40) (Fig. 19).
Tighten nut.
5. Clean plastic dust cap (Key #72) and
housing (Key #80); press back by gently
tapping into place. Clean inside blade cover of
any built up dirt.
LOOSE BLADE
Follow steps 1 and 2 of Blade Replacement and
tighten nut clockwise.
LUBRICATION OF GEARS
The oil in the gear case should be filled up
according to use by adding light, free-flowing,
lithium-based grease (P/N 100130) through fill
screw hole in casing (Fig. 17). Use a suitable
filling gun or squeeze grease pack (P/N
100130). Remove bleed screw to allow grease
to eject, indicating gear box is 3/4 full. Refit
bleed screw and push in 3-4 more pumps. Refit
fill screw.

CHECK THE SPARK PLUG
If engine is low on power, difficult to start
or runs poorly at idling speed, check the spark
plug.
•Allow engine to cool down.
•Remove spark plug.
•Clean dirty spark plug.
•Check electrode gap - it should be 0.02”
(0.5 mm) (Fig. 20).
•Rectify faults which have caused fouling of
spark plug. Possible faults include:
-Incorrect carburetor setting.
-Too much oil or wrong type of oil in
fuel mix.
-Old fuel mix.
-Dirty air filter.
-Unfavorable running conditions (e.g.
operating at part load).
Do not clean the spark plug in an abrasive
grit spark plug cleaner, as expensive dam-
age to the engine could occur through loose
grit damaging chrome in cylinder bore.
Fit a new spark plug after approximately 100
operating hours or earlier if electrodes are
badly eroded (recommended type: NGK
BPMR7A or Champion RCJ-6Y).
NOTE: Using spark plugs other than those
designated may result in the engine failing to
operate properly or in the engine becoming
overheated and damaged.
CHECKING EXHAUST MUFFLER
Tighten exhaust screws. If exhaust gasket is
leaking, replace gasket. If the engine is low
on power, check the muffler. Allow motor to
cool down. Remove and scrape out excess
carbon (Fig. 21) on both inlet and exit exhaust
or have this done by a service dealer. Replace
exhaust spark arrestor if worn, broken or
blocked (Fig. 22).

If debris causes blockage around the
intake air cooling vent or between the
cylinder fins, it may cause the engine to
overheat, and that in turn may cause
mechanical failure on the part of the Xtra
Edger. Remove air deflector to clean.
