OPERATION INSTRUCTION

NOTE: 

The edger is a major appliance and 

should not be operated simultaneously 
with other major appliances on the same 
household circuit.

WARNING: Make sure that other 

persons and pets are at least 100 

feet away.

EDGING

1.   Before starting the edger, line up the tool 

so the edge guide rests against the edge 
of the paved surface. Both rear wheels 
should be on the paved surface when 
edging. (See Fig. D2)

2.   To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle 

down so the blade is above the ground 
(See Fig. D3).

3.  Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin 

without moving tool.

4.   Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, 

finding the edge of the paved surface 
and start edging. Then move tool forward 
slowly along edge of paved surface, 
keeping the edge guide pressed lightly 
against the pavement edge. For the 
first edging each season, it is best to 
move forward slowly because grass is 
thickest then. Subsequent edging will be 
completed more rapidly. If the tool slows 
down, back it up an inch or two until the 
blade comes up to normal speed. During 
edging some sparks may be generated 
from hitting stones. This is normal. Do not 
attempt to edge when the grass or soil is 
wet or moist—for electrical safety and to 
prevent clogging of the blade chamber. 
If you must edge under conditions that 
cause the blade chamber to become 
clogged, release trigger, wait for blade to 
come to complete stop! UNPLUG TOOL! 
open door and remove clogged material 
with a stick. To continue to operate the 
tool in a clogged condition will seriously 
overload the motor.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to unclog 

the blade chamber by dropping or 

tapping the tool on the ground. This can 

damage the unit. Keep hands clear of 

edge guide and blade when cleaning as 

these wear to a very sharp point during 

edging.

TRENCHING AND LANDSCAPING 

OPERATION

The Edger can also be used for Trenching. The 
blade will leave a small trench for placing
Wire underground.
Because of the direction of the Blade rotation 
the Edger can kickback towards the operator 
if it hits an obstruction such as thick, matted 
grass. Keep a firm grasp on the Handle,
especially when trenching in thick, matted 
material.
The Edger can be used in Landscaping 
applications, including cutting along the edges
of flower and shrubbery beds, around trees, 
and cutting in preparation for sod removal.
Before trenching, inspect and ensure there are 
no exposed or buried cables, pipes  or other 
objects that may create a hazard or interfere
