TIPS FOR BEST EDGING RESULTS

• Keep the cutting attachment perpendicular to the
ground.
• Do not force the edger. Edge the first time at a lesser
depth,(No more than 1/2" depth cut per pass), then do
the area again with a deeper setting.
• Walk the edger at a slow, even pace
• Check the blade condition, as it wears it becomes
smaller, reducing the cutting depth performance.
Replace with a new blade as required.
