How to Stop the Edger

Release the start lever (See Figure 6) . This will ground out
the engine through the ground wire, causing the engine
to stop .
How to Change the Edger Cutting Depth
D
Move the Depth Control Lever forward to increase the
depth . (See Figure 7)
NOTE:
There are 5 cutting depth settings from
approximately ground level to 2.5” (63 mm) deep.
NOTICE
Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge
too deep at too fast a rate . To edge at deeper settings,
make multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths .
How to Change the Blade Angle for a Beveled Edge
E
The blade can be adjusted 15 degrees from vertical (both
directions) to provide a beveled cut, which will cut the
grass further away from the sidewalk or driveway, reducing
the need to edge as often . Using the beveled edge at a
deep depth will cut a trench into the ground .
1 . Stop the engine .
2 . Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug .
3 . Disengage the index lever (See Figure 8) . Move the
index lever to the desired notch (15, 0 or -15 degrees) .
4 . Before you start the engine, line up the edger as if you
were going to bevel cut .
NOTICE
Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge
too deep at too fast a rate . To edge at deeper settings,
make multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths .
