Before edging, water the area to soften the ground and make edging easier.
–
Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that
–
could be thrown.
Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to avoid
–
having to make more than one pass.
Note:
Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height between the
hard surface and the top of the grass.
Adjust the blades’ depth of cut to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and
–
grass using a minimum blade depth, usually with about 13 mm (1/2”) of the
blade into the ground.
Adjusting the blade depth
Loosen the nut on the wheel.
–
Move the wheel and adjust the height according to the operation, then tighten
–
the nut.
