FOR ALL LAWN EDGERS
1) Avoid Dangerous Environments - Don’t
use Lawn Edgers in damp or wet
locations.
2) Don’t Use In Rain.
3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should
be kept at a distance from work area.
4) Dress Properly - Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. They can be
caught in moving parts. Use of rubber
gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) Use the Right Lawn Edger - Do not use
lawn edger for any job except that for
which it is intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening Lawn Edger. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
8) Warning -To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
9) Extension Cord - Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of Lawn Edger cord from
the extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors described
in this manual.
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t
carry plugged-in lawn edger with nger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
!WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead,
phthalate or bisphenol A which are known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash your hands after use.
!WARNING: Read all instructions.
!
WARNING: When using electric garden products, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal
injury, including the following:

11) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry edger
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
12) Don’t Force Lawn Edger - It will do the
job properly and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
13) Don’t Overreach - Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
Lawn Edger when you are tired.
15) Disconnect Lawn Edger - Disconnect
the lawn Edger from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, when
changing accessories such as blades,
and the like.
16) Store Idle Lawn Edgers Indoors - When
not in use, Lawn Edgers should be stored
indoors in dry, and high or locked-up
place - out of reach of children.
17) Maintain Lawn Edger With Care - Keep
cutting edge sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of
injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it
repaired by an authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and

NOTE: Before using this lawn edger, read this manual carefully.
MOUNTING
ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE
1. Remove knob and curved head bolt from tube mounting holes.
2. Slide the handle into the end of the upper tube so that holes will line up, then fasten
handle tubes together with the knob. (See Fig. A, B)
3. Slide upper handle tube down into lower handle tube so that holes will line up. There are
two positions available for adjustment to your preferred height setting. (See Fig. C)
NOTE: Ensure the wire cable moves smoothly down into the lower handle tube while
assembling.
4. Fasten handle tubes together with the knob and curved head bolt. Note that when you rst
insert the bolt, it may be necessary to wiggle it carefully to get it past the jacketed wire inside
the tube. (See Fig. D)
!CAUTION: NEVER use a sharp object to move jacketed wires out of the way.
CUT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The front wheel can be adjusted to allow a deeper or shallower cut, and to increase the life of
the blade. Change the cut depth from the shipping position to your desired depth by:
1. Wait for blade to come to complete stop!
2. UNPLUG LAWN EDGER!
3. Open the cut depth knob. (See Fig. E, F)
4. Adjust wheel depth, using the depth indicator on the wheel bracket and the marking on the
front housing.
Note: LAWN EDGER.
5. Return the cut depth knob to original position.
Tip: Thick overgrowth may drag on the guard. Reduce cut depth to minimum to help
reduce this effect.
EDGE GUIDE
The edge guide is useful for cutting a straight path along sidewalks. For landscaping
or trenching in the yard the edge guide can interfere with moving the edger through
hard soil or sod. The edge guide can be adjusted so that the tool will also perform
TRENCHING and LANDSCAPING operations.
TO CHANGE POSITION OF THE EDGE GUIDE
1. Wait for blade to come to complete stop!
2. UNPLUG LAWN EDGER!
3. To set the edge guide to the EDGING position: Unlock Edge Guide Adjustment Lever and
Opearting instructions

push it down to set Edge Guide in the down position. (See Fig. G, H)
See position illustrations on lever.
4. To set the edge guide to the TRENCHING position: Unlock Edge Guide Adjustment Lever
and pull it up to set Edge Guide in the up position. (See Fig. G, H)
See position illustrations on lever.
TO REMOVE THE BLADE FOR REPLACEMENT (See Fig. I)
Wait for blade to come to complete stop!
UNPLUG LAWN EDGER!
CAUTION: Blade rotates momentarily after the switch is released.
1. Open the guard.
2. Loosen the hex head nut (9/16”, 14 mm). Use a 1’’ wrench on the outer spacer, or a 50.8mm x 101.6mm (2” x 4”)
wood block between the blade and guard if necessary to hold the blade from turning.
TO ATTACH NEW BLADE (See Fig. I, J)
3. Ensure inner spacer is on shaft—”ats” in spacer hole must engage with “ats” on shaft.
4. Hold the spacer in place and put the blade on the shaft.
5. Hold the blade against the spacer and install the outer spacer, again aligning the ats in the spacer with the ats
on the shaft.
6. Install the hex head nut, then tighten with a wrench (140 in pounds).
Note: Replace hex head nut and conical washer only with identical replacement part, see Service Information.
7. Close blade guard; knob must be in locking position.
OPERATION
TO START OR STOP THE EDGER (SEE FIG. K, L)
To turn the lawn edger on, depress the lock-off button and then squeeze the switch lever. As soon as edger starts,
you can release the Power Safety Lock-Off Switch. The Power Switch Lever has been designed so that it is very
easy to hold in the ON position. To turn the lawn edger off, release the switch lever.
NOTE: The edger is a major electrical product and should not be operated simultaneously with other major
appliances on the same household circuit.
!Warning: Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100 ‘ (30 m) away.
EDGING
1. Set cut depth at 1” (2.5 cm) and set edge guide to the EDGING position, refer to Assembly Instructions.
2. Before starting the edger, line up the edge guide so it rests against the edge of the paved surface (See Fig. M).
Both rear wheels should be on the paved surface when edging.
!Warning: To avoid the operator’s feet touching the cutting blade, both rear wheels must be on the paved
surface when edging.
Tip: When there is heavy overgrowth of grass over the paved surface it may drag on the guard. An initial
cut may be required with the edger on the grass side. This will require lifting up the edge guide and may
require reducing the depth of cut (see Edge Guide and Depth Adjustment instructions).
3. To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle down so the blade is above the ground (See Fig N).
4. Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin without moving tool.
5. Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, nding the edge of the paved surface and start edging. Then move lawn
edger forward slowly along edge of paved surface, keeping the edge guide pressed lightly against the pavement
Opearting instructions

model number 060-1900-8 | contact us: 1.866.523.5218 model number 060-1900-8 | contact us: 1.866.523.5218
13
edge.
For the rst edging each season, it is best to move forward slowly because grass is thickest then. Subsequent
edging will be completed more rapidly. If the lawn edger slows down, back it up an inch or two until the blade
comes up to normal speed. During edging some sparks may be generated from hitting stones. This is normal. Do
not attempt to edge when the grass or soil is wet or moist—for electrical safety and to prevent clogging of the blade
chamber. If you must edge under conditions that cause the blade chamber to become clogged, release switch
lever, wait for blade to come to complete stop! UNPLUG LAWN EDGER! Open door and remove clogged material
with a stick. To continue to operate the lawn edger in a clogged condition will seriously overload the motor.
!CAUTION: Do not attempt to unclog the blade chamber by dropping or tapping the lawn edger on the
ground.
This can damage the unit. Keep hands clear of edge guide and blade when cleaning as these wear to a very sharp
point during edging.
LANDSCAPING/TRENCHING
Before landscaping or trenching, inspect and ensure there are no exposed or buried cables, pipes or other objects
that may create a hazard or interfere with operating the edger. Set depth to only that required for the job. Do not
overload. If tool slows, pull back slightly and wait until blade comes up to normal speed.

STORAGE
!Warning! Be sure the tool is unplugged.
Remove and clean any debris from the outside of the edger and inside of guard before storage.
See MAINTENANCE section. If necessary, the edger may be stored by hanging on a hook by
its handle.
!CAUTION: DO NOT HANG EDGER ON THE SWITCH TRIGGER OR POWER CORD!
Note: Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause
rapid corrosion.
PREVENTING CORROSION
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents that greatly accelerate the corrosion of
metals. If you use the lawn edger in areas where fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the
lawn edger should be cleaned immediately afterwards. Wipe all exposed parts with a damp
cloth. You may lubricate only metal parts with a light petroleum based oil. When cleaning, DO
NOT immerse lawn edger in water or squirt it with a hose.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the lawn edger.. Never let any liquid get inside the
lawn edger; never immerse any part of the lawn edger into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed by authorized service centres or other qualied service
organizations. Use only identical replacement parts. Inspect and thoroughly clean your edger at
the beginning of each edging season for longer life and better performance.
