Operating Tips

•
Hold the edger with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle.
•
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
•
The edger should be held at a comfortable position
with the rear handle at about hip height.
•
The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways,
flower beds, curbs, and similar areas.
•
Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to slow
down, you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do
not force the blade into the ground.
•
Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk
edge, curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage
the edger.

•
To achieve the best appearance, edge when grass
is dry. Edging in wet soil or wet grass areas might
clog the blade guard and result in an uneven
edge. If the blade guard becomes clogged, stop
the edger, remove the battery and remove debris
from the blade guard.
