USING THE EDGER ATTACHMENT
See Figure 4.
When using the edger attachment, hold the unit 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 about hip height.
NOTE: When in use, always operate at full throttle. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the
muffler.

See Figures 5 - 6.
 Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire.
 Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up
to increase the depth or down to decrease the depth.
 After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
 Replace the spark plug wire and start the unit.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 1 in. deep
initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If
the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done
progressively until the desired depth is reached.
