obstructions.

6. Replacing the Blade
WARNING

cracked blade as it might break. Such a blade
must be replaced. Replace only with identical
edger blade.
NOTICE: Replace the blade if its length is no
longer sufficient to maintain the necessary ground
clearance and obtain the required depth of cut.

gloves or wrapping the blade with rags or other
materials when performing any maintenance on
the edger blade.
Removing the blade
