Secrets to a Long Lasting  

SharperBlade

CONGRATULATIONS! You are about to experience a faster, 

easier, way of grooming your lawns edge and managing 

weeds.
First, you will notice that there are obvious differences between 

your SharperBlade

 and string line, among which are size and 

shape. These differences require you to operate your t 

edger slightly different:

1.  Use MINIMAL pressure when edging against concrete, 

brick, or stone. Since the SharperBlade

 is more ridged 

than string, you may feel the need to put pressure on the 

blade while edging. The more pressure you apply, the 

FASTER the blade will wear. In contrast, the less pressure 

you apply against hard surfaces, the LONGER the blade 

will last! The SECRET is to keep the blade just off the hard 

surface.

2.  NEVER FORCE your SharperBlade

. High speed, along 

with an impact against any hard surface, may cause 

the blade to buckle near the center hub, and tear. The 

SECRET is to allow the SharperBlade

 to do ALL the work 

without extra effort.
