LEVEL
CUT
To EDGE:
The wheels should be run on the walk with the guide
against
the edge of the walk. Best results are obtained
when you allow the tool to run at close to full speed. Do
not push tool too fast so that motor stalls. Back up quickly
if stalling
occurs and allow tool to run at full speed.
To TRENCH:
Place Edger in position shown above. Trenching,provldes
a wider margin
betv_een the]awa
and the watl_ Trench-
ing removes more material
and therefore increases
the
motor
load. Be careful to move slowly to avoid motor
stalling or overload.
DYNAMIC BRAKE:
Your edger
is equipped
with
a dynamic
brake.
This
feature uses the energy of the motor to stop the spinning
blade when the switch is released.
To BEVEL:
Place Edger in position shown above. Beveling allows you
to edge closer to walks or planters.
The edge guide dees
not function in this position
and care should be taken to
avoid allowing blade to strike the Wall or submerged foot-
ings.
To LEVEL CUT:
Place _dger
in position
shown
above. Level
cutting
allows you to cut grasses
similar to a lawn mower. Level
cutting is practical for only small areas
and is not in-
tended as a lawn mower substitute.
THE OPERATION OF ANY EDGER CAN RESULT IN FOREIGN OBJECTS BEING
THROWN INTO THE EYES, WHICH
CAN RESULT IN SEVERE
EYE DAMAGE.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR EYE SHIELDS BEFORE COMMENCING
POWER TOOL OPERATION. WE RECOMMENDA
WIDE VISION SAFETY MASK
FOR OVER SPECTACLES OR STANDARD SAFETY GLASSES
AVAILABLE AT
SEARS RETAIL OR CATALOG STORES.
FORESIGHT IS BETTER THAN NO SIGHT.
