OPERATION cont.
TRENCHING AND LANDSCAPING OPERATION
The Edger can also be used for Trenching. The blade will leave a small trench for placing
wiring underground.
Because of the direction of the Blade rotation the Edger can kickback towards the operator
if it hits an obstruction such as thick, matted grass. Keep a firm grasp on the Handle,
especially when trenching in thick, matted material.
The Edger can be used in Landscaping applications, including cutting along the edges
of flower and shrubbery beds, around trees, and cutting in preparation for sod removal.
While trenching and landscaping, the Edge Guide can interfere with moving the Edger
through hard soil or sod. For this reason trenching and landscaping are done with the
Blade only and without use of the Edge Guide. Locate the Edge Guide Adjustment Lever
and put Edge Guide in the up position. Refer to illustrations on Lever.
Before trenching, inspect and ensure there are no exposed or buried cables, pipes
or other objects that may create a hazard or interfere with operating the Edger.
Set depth to only that required for the job.
NOTE: ALWAYS stand to the left of the Handle. Any debris thrown by the Edger
would be coming from the Blade Guard area on the right of the Edger.
Do not overload. If tool slows down, pull back slightly and wait until blade comes up to
normal speed.
WARNING:
!
DO NOT use Edger with any type of accessory or attachment.
Such usage might be hazardous.
