OPERATION
BRD-280
7. Loosen adjustment knob (A) and adjust the blade’s depth of
cut. Tighten adjustment knob (A) when desired blade height
is achieved.
8. If shield clogs with mud or debris, do not hit unit against
hard surfaces to clean, or damage to unit may occur. Stop
engine and unclog shield with a suitable tool.
Be sure blade has completely stopped spinning before setting
unit on concrete or other hard surface. Never allow spinning blade
to contact hard surfaces. Carbide teeth on blade can break, or
damage to surface can occur.
The complete unit, specifically the drive shaft assembly
and muffler exhaust area may become very hot during use.
Avoid contact during and immediately after operation,
otherwise serious personal injury may result.
Edging Operation
Before edging, be sure to read and understand the entire Operator’s Manual and Safety Manual to
avoid the chance of serious personal injury.
1. Before edging, water the area to soften the ground to make edging easier.
2. Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that could be thrown.
3. Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to avoid having to make more than one
pass.
Never adjust blade height or clear debris from shield with engine running, otherwise serious
personal injury may result.
Note: Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height between the hard surface and the
top of the grass.
