throttle control lever up.
• To stop the engine, make sure the clutch
lever is all the way back or up and move
the throttle control lever to the STOP
IO position.
Z_ CAUTION: Never run the engine
indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands,
feet, hair and loose clothing away from any
moving parts on the engine or edgerl
trimmer. Avoid the muffler and surrounding
areas. Temperatures may exceed 150 ° F.
EDGING TIPS
• Edging is best performed when conditions
are dry. If the soil is to wet, dirt becomes
packed in and around the blade causing
premature belt wear and decreased
performance.
• If dirt does become packed around the
blade, stop the engine, remove the spark
plug wire, and remove the packed debris
before continuing to edge.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
• If very deep edging is required, we
recommend that a shallow cut be made
first, then cuts at greater depth until the
desired depth is obtained.
• Uniform edging can be performed when
the blade guide rides on and against the
surface which you are edging.
• Edging can be customized by varying the
number of passes and by the distance
your blade is from the surface you are
edging.
