■ HOW TO USE
WARNING
1. Always wear eye protection such as
safety goggles. Never lean over the
OP8
rotating cutting head. Rocks or other
debris could be thrown into eyes
and face and cause serious personal
injury.
2. Keep the blade guard and the mud
guard attached in place at all times
when the unit is operated.
3. Before starting a job, check the area
and remove all obstacles and
objects that could be thrown by the
blade.
4. Do not adjust the wheel height or try
to remove anything entangled to the
blade with the engine running.
1. Before starting the engine, adjust the
wheel height for desired cutting depth
(See page 12).
2. Before starting a job, plan your
direction of travel so that you can
always hold the edger on you right side
and can walk on a hard surface as
much as possible.
3. When starting to edge, maintain the
engine speed at the level required to
perform edging work, and slowly have
the blade cut into the edge groove.
• Before edging, make sure the area is
soft enough so the blade does not bog
down.
• Do not move the edger into the work so
fast that the engine or blade bogs
down.
• Do not operate using starting throttle
lock. It may cause unit uncontrolled,
and clutch failure.
• Use care indirecting discharge to avoid
bystanders, vehicles, glass, and the
like.
• When the blade guard is clogged or
blade stuck, stop the engine and clean
it.
