6.
Adjust the Edger to the correct cutting depth
before you start the engine. (Refer to Setting
Depth of Cut on page 11.) Make sure the shield
is adjusted to shield the operator from thrown
debris (Figs. 17 and 18).
7.
Make sure the blade is rotating (at least half
throttle) before inserting the blade into the cut.
The Edger performs best at full throttle.
8.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the
engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
9.
Stop the Edger engine when moving between
work sites.
Always wear gloves and protective clothing
when operating the Edger.
If the Edger blade becomes jammed, stop the
engine immediately.
Make certain all moving parts have stopped and
disconnect the spark plug before inspecting the
equipment for damage.
Never use a Edger that has chipped, cracked or
broken Edger blade or blade shield.
Setting Depth of Cut
IMPORTANT: Set the depth of cut before you
start the engine.
1.
Loosen the knob holding the shield to the plate
(Fig. 18).
2.
Rotate the shield as necessary to set the depth of
cut (Fig. 18). Note that:
Rotating the shield to raise the wheel
increases the depth of cut.
Rotating the shield to lower the wheel
decreases the depth of cut.
3.
Make sure the shield is positioned to protect the
operator from thrown debris, then tighten the
knob (Figs. 17 and 18).
Maintenance
Air Filter
Maintenance Interval
The air filter should be cleaned daily, or more
often when working in extremely dusty
conditions.
Replace after every 100 hours of operation.
Air Filter Cleaning
1.
Loosen the knob and remove the air filter cover
(Fig. 19).
2.
Remove the foam ring and filter screen from the
air filter cover (Fig. 19).
3.
Clean the foam ring and filter screen with warm,
soapy water. Let the screen and ring dry
completely.
4.
Apply a light coat of SAE 30 motor oil to the
foam ring and squeeze out all excess oil.
5.
Reassemble the filter screen and foam ring to the
air filter cover (Fig. 19).
IMPORTANT: The air filter screen is
designed to fit into the air filter cover ONE
WAY ONLY. Make sure the cutouts in the
screen fit onto the matching plastic posts in
the air filter cover. The fit should be snug
(Fig. 20).
6.
Reinstall the air filter cover and tighten the knob
(Fig. 19).
