Maintenance

NOTE: This product is not suitable for repair or maintenance work by the
unskilled person. The following detail explains how the blade is changed,
how the product is cleaned, and basic maintenance / safety checks. All other
maintenance work must be carried out by service agents who are experienced
with both the mechanical and electrical aspects of this product.

Safety / Deterioration Check

Any of the following faults found should be investigated and repaired by a
qualified service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard:
• Prior to each use or during the cleaning operation check the following with
the 240V ac mains power DISCONNECTED from the product.
• Check the guard is firmly mounted and the swing door locates, closes and
locks correctly.
• Check the guard is not cracked or fractured.
The following checks should be made with the 240V ac mains supply
connected:
• BE AWARE and take precautions as the blade will rotate under some of the
checks. Tests should be made on soft ground with the blade clear of the
ground.
• Gently depress the trigger switch (2) without the safety lock button (3)
being depressed. The product should not start. (Do Not use the product if
the unit starts without the safety lock button (3) not pressed).
• Press the safety lock button (3) and the trigger switch (2) to start the edger.
Release the trigger switch (2). The unit MUST stop. If the unit fails to stop,
remove the plug from the 240V ac mains supply. (DO NOT use the product
in this condition).
• On start up, the motor and the blade rotation should be an even growling
noise. If there is a grinding, or squealing noise, or uneven speed, turn off the
edger, disconnect and have the unit serviced by a qualified service agent or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
The following faults, if found, can be corrected by the owner of the edger,
unless the fault requires disassembly, which must be performed by a qualified
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
• Check the wheels freely turn without binding.
• Check the height adjustment is fully located and firmly clamped by the
height adjustment knob (21).
• Check there is no build up of grass around the spindle.
• Check the blade size and cutting edge of the blade. Replace the blade if
necessary per the instructions to follow.

Changing the Blade

WARNING: Ensure the edger is switched off and is disconnected from
mains power before undertaking this task.
1. Loosen and remove the guard lock knob (15) and open the blade guard
(14). (Fig U/V)
2. Place the supplied blade spanner (24) over the outer blade flange (18) to
hold it in position, and then use a 14mm spanner (not included) to remove
the blade lock nut (17) in an anti-clockwise direction. (Fig X)
3. Remove the blade lock nut (17), outer blade flange (18) and the 190mm
serrated blade (16), and ensure the spindle and inner flange (19) are clean of
any dirt, etc. (Fig Y)
4. Fit the new 190mm serrated blade (16) then the outer blade flange (18),
then the blade lock nut (17). Using the supplied blade spanner (24) to hold
the outer blade flange in position, tighten the blade lock nut (17) using a
14mm spanner in a clockwise direction. (Fig X)
5. When the 190mm serrated blade (16) is secure, rotate it by hand to ensure
the blade is not making contact with any components of the edger. (Fig Z)
6. Close the blade guard (14), and finger tighten the guard lock knob (15). (Fig U)
NOTE: Blade wear is expected whenever you use your edger. Blades wear
quite quickly when edging along concrete paths. This does not affect the
efficiency of the edger and is expected due to the aggressive abrasion of
concrete on steel.
Blades should be replaced when they become worn and no longer edge the
grass cleanly.
Replacement blades are available for purchase from our website
www.extrabattery.com.au or by calling 1800 909 909.
