Operation
The electric grass t edger is designed to cut grass
and weeds under bushes, and on slopes and edges that
cannot be reached with the lawn mower. The t edger
must be used outdoors only, at an ambient temperature
between 32ºF (0ºC) and 113ºF (45ºC).
m
WARNING!
Remove stones, small sticks and other
objects from the cutting area. The SharperBlade
™
continues to
rotate for a few seconds after the t edger is switched
off. Let the motor come to a complete stop before switching
the t edger back on. Do not rapidly switch the trimmer
+ edger off and on.

WARNING!
Rocks or debris may ricochet or be thrown
into eyes and face, cause blindness, or other serious injury.
Never lean over the trimmer head and always wear eye
protection.
When operating the machine, check for the following:
• Wear eye protection and heavy clothing.
• Hold the rear handle with one hand and auxiliary handle
with the other hand.
• Keep the t edger below your waist level.
• Cut only from your right to your left to ensure debris is
thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep the
t edger near and parallel to the ground.
m
WARNING!
Use only SharperBlade
™
electric trimmer
+ edger replacement blade. Other products will not work
properly and will result in improper cutting head function or
can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as
steel blades, wire, string, rope, etc. Other materials can break
off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can
cause serious injury.
ON + OFF Switch
1. To switch the grass t edger ON, press and hold
the safety lock button, then squeeze the ON/OFF trigger
switch and release the safety lock button (Fig. 8).
2. To switch OFF, release the ON/OFF trigger switch (Fig. 8).
Trimming
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head above the ground and
at an angle if desired. Allow only the SharperBlade™ to make
contact. Do not force SharperBlade™ into work area (Fig. 9).
Scalping
The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation down to
the ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in.
(8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of
the SharperBlade
™
to strike the ground around trees, posts,
monuments, etc. This technique increases SharperBlade
™
wear (Fig. 10).
