TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
(EDGER)
• Keep the wheel on the sidewalk or pavement.
• To protect the sidewalk or pavement from damage, keep the edger
guide in contact with the edge of the sidewalk or pavement.
• Use the alignment guide to help maintain proper alignment (Fig. 12).
• Keep the blade perpendicular to the ground.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make the first cut no more than 1/2"
deep. Increase the depth by 1/2" and cut the area again. Repeat
this process until the desired depth is achieved. Refer to
Adjusting the Cutting Depth.
• Cut at a slow, even pace.
• Frequently check the condition of the blade. As it wears, the
blade will become smaller, reducing the cutting depth. Replace
the blade as needed. Refer to Replacing the Edger Blade.
ADJUSTING THE TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
(TRIMMER)
This unit is equipped with a bump head. Trimming line can be
released from the cutting head without stopping the engine.
To release more line, lightly tap the bump knob on the ground (Fig. 13)
while operating the unit at high speed. For best results, tap the
bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. Attempting to release line in
tall grass may stall the engine.
NOTE: Do not rest the cutting head on the ground while the unit is
running.
Each time the bump knob is tapped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of
trimming line is released.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release
becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.
A blade in the cutting head shield will cut the line to the proper
length if any excess line is released.
WARNING:
Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade
assembly. Excessive line length will make the unit
overheat. This may lead to serious personal injury or
damage to the unit.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
(EDGER)
1. Stop the unit and allow it to cool.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. Loosen the depth adjustment knob (Fig. 14).
4. Slide the wheel up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Lowering the wheel will decrease the cutting depth. Raising
the wheel will increase the cutting depth.
5. Tighten the depth adjustment knob.
6. Reconnect the spark plug wire and continue use.
