SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which
can be thrown or become entangled in the edger
blade.
Be sure all guards are properly and securely attached.
Replace dull or worn blade; do not attempt to sharpen.
Use this edger for edging along sidewalks, driveways,
flower beds, and similar areas. Do not use for any other
purpose.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls. Know how to
stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
Do not use the edger on or near graveled surfaces.
If the edger strikes any type of foreign object:
a) Stop the edger and remove the spark plug wire or
disconnect from the power supply.
b) Inspect for damage to the edger attachment.
c) Correct damage before using the edger attachment.
Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Make yourself familiar with the area you are edging. Be
aware of uneven sidewalks and holes in the terrain as well
as other similar hazardous conditions
(example: wire or
wire rope which can break off and become a dangerous
projectile). Always push the edger attachment slowly over
rough ground.
Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
or disconnect from power supply before attempting to
remove any obstruction caught or jammed in the blade,
installing attachment, or making any adjustments.
Do not attempt to remove cut material nor hold material
to be cut when the engine is running or when the cutting
blade is moving.
Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
Always keep your right hand on the rear handle and your
left hand on the front handle when the blade is rotating.
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger
released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these instruc-
tions also to prevent misuse of the product and
possible injury.
