EDGING TIPS
1. Move edger to a desired area to begin edging, making sure
that the left rear wheel is on a hard surface and the blade is
over area to be cut.
2. Lower blade control lever to achieve depth of cut desired.
The further the forward blade depth control lever is moved,
the deeper or lower the blade will cut into the ground.
3. For newly edged lawns, multiple passes may be needed to
achieve desired depth by lowering depth of cut incrementally.
4. For best results, proceed slowly along the path being edged.
Slowly moving edger forward and backward through cutting
area, making sure to keep the left rear wheel on the hard
surface and the blade in the cutting path, close to but not
touching the edge of the hard surface.
5. Once you have finished edging selected area, raise the blade
control lever back in to the TOP position, move to the next
area to be edged, and proceed again from step 1.

Do Not
edge on a slope greater than 15 degrees.
• A 10 degree slope is a hill that increases in height at
approximately 1.76 feet (53.6 cm) in 10 feet (304.5 cm).
• A 15 degree slope is a hill that increases in height at
approximately 2.68 feet (81.7 cm) in 10 feet (304.5 cm).
WARNING
USE EXTREME CARE AT ALL TIMES AND AVOID
SUDDEN TURNS OR MANEUVERS. FOLLOW
