Edger Operation Techniques - Echo PAS-225VP Operator's Manual

OPERATION
Inspect the blade for damage before proceeding. Sharpen teeth if dull, or
replace blade if cracked, bent, missing teeth, or otherwise damaged.
To prevent binding:
• Keep blades sharp
• Avoid excessive pressure during cuts
• Don't exceed cutting capacity of blade
• Don't use blades with damaged or missing cutting teeth
• Don't rock blades in cut

Edger Operation Techniques

1. Before edging, water the area to soften the ground to make edging
easier.
2. Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects
that could be thrown.
3. Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to
avoid having to make more than one pass.
Note: Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in
height between the hard surface and the top of the grass.
Never adjust blade height with engine running, otherwise
serious personal injury may result.
4. Loosen adjustment knob (A).
Move wheel up to increase
cutting depth, or down to
decrease cutting depth. A depth
of 0.5 in. (13 mm) is optimal.
Tighten adjustment knob (A).
5. Before edging, plan your
direction of travel so that the
unit will always be positioned
on your right side and so that
you walk on a hard surface
whenever possible.
