Edging Tips - Craftsman 536.772321 Manual Del Usario

Edging Tips
• Edging is best performed when conditions are dry.
If the soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed around
the blade causing premature belt wear and
decreased performance.
If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop
the engine and remove the wire from the spark
plug. Remove the packed dirt and debris from the
blade.
• For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths. Then,
cut at greater depths until the desired depth is
obtained.
• For uniform edging, make sure the blade guide
rides on the surface.
• Before you begin mowing, try first edging around
the lawn. Use the edger along hard edges such as
sidewalks and driveways.
WARNING
• Operate equipment with guards in place.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling
drawstrings or items that could become
caught.
Before unclogging the blade or making
repairs, stop the engine by releasing the
engine stop lever. Disconnect the wire from
the spark plug.
• Never leave the unit unattended while the
engine is running.
• Keep bystanders away from machine.
