Operating Instructions; Assembling The Handle; Cut Depth Adjustment; Attaching Extension Cord To Edger - Craftsman 900.79654 Instruction Manual

ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE A
Assemble Handle Tubes (Figure 2 & 3)
1. Remove knob and curved head bolt
from lower handle tube mounting holes.
2. Slide upper handle tube down into
lower handle tube so that holes will
line up (Figure 3).
3. NOTE: Ensure the wire cable moves
smoothly down into the lower handle ,6_
tube while assembling.
4. Fasten handle tubes together with the
knob and curved head bolt. Note that
when you first insert the bolt it may be

Cut Depth Adjustment (Figure 4)
The front wheel can be adjusted to allow a
deeper or shallower cut, and to increase
the life of the blade. To change the cut
depth from the shipping position to your
desired depth:
1. Wait for blade to come to complete stop.
2. UNPLUG TOOL!
3. Loosen the Cut Depth Knob.
4. Adjust wheel depth, using the depth
indicator on the wheel bracket and the
marking on the front housing.
Note: Recommend 1" depth for edging.
5. Tighten Knob firmly.
Tip: Thick overgrowth may drag on
the guard. Reduce cut depth to
minimum to help reduce this effect.
Attaching Extension Cord To
Edger (Figure 5 )
Note: Check the extension cord safety
instructions provided earlier in this
manual.
1. Insert plug into cord socket.
2. An extension cord retainer is built into
the switch handle to reduce strain on
the power cord. To use this feature,
simply double the extension cord as
shown, about a foot from the end, and
insert it into the end of the handle.
Hook the loop formed by doubling the
cord over the tab. Gently tug on the
cord to ensure that it is firmly retained
in the handle.
3. Keep extension cord clear of operator,
unit, and any obstacles at all times.
Do not expose the cord to heat, oil,
water, or sharp edges.
