to-edge collar down and rotate the head

normal cutting line wear if the trimmer line
is positioned directly over the sidewalk or

EDGING

Edger, stones, pieces of metal and other
objects can be thrown out at high speed by
the line. The trimmer and guard are
designed to reduce the danger. However,
MAKE SURE that other persons and pets
are at least 100 feet (30m) away. Optimum
cutting results are achieved on edges
deeper than 2 inches (50 mm).
• Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
• Using the edging wheel (9), guide the
trimmer as shown in figure L.
