Edging
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury,
keep the guard between the operator and
the trimmer head.
Edging maintains an existing border between
a lawn and another object such as a sidewalk,
pavement, or flower bed The trimmer/edger is
not designed for creating a new hard edge, but
is useful for keeping an existing edge clean
Keep hands away from the throttle trigger, then
move the edging guard so that it extends from
the trimmer and clicks into place
Approach the lawn with the trimmer turned so
that the bottom of the trimmer head is pointed
toward the side of the lawn and the edging
guide is pointed toward the ground Position the
edge guide along the edge of the lawn (Fig 16)

Operating the Trimmer/Edger
In tight spaces, such as against a fence or other
barrier, it is acceptable to reverse grip on the
rear handle and hold the trimmer/edger in a
more vertical position (Fig 17)
FIG. 17
For extended periods of edging, it is acceptable
to rotate the front handle (Fig 18) This may
provide a more comfortable grip
