How To Use The Index Lever
The cutting angle of the blade is controlled by the
index lever (A). The index lever has four cutting
positions, one vertical cut and three bevel cut position.
WARNING
1 Stop the engine. Do not change the position of the
index lever while the engine is running.
2 Raise the blade. See "How To Use The Depth
Control Lever" in the Operation Section.
3 For a vertical cut (C), set the index lever in position
(0 °) See Figure 12.
4 For a bevel cut (B), set the index lever in one of
the three bevel positions (15 ° , 15 °, 30°). See
Figure 12.
5 Start the engine.
6 Move the depth control lever to the desired height.
See "How To Use The Depth Control Lever" in the
Operation Section.
The three bevel cutting positions cut a trench at an
angle and reduce the need to edge as often.
NOTE: For deep edging, first cut at shallow
depths. Then, cut at greater depths until the
desired depth is obtained.
WARNING
• Before you adjust the wheels or change the
position of the blade, release the engine stop
lever to stop the engine.
• Do not change the position of the index lever
while the engine is running.
• Change the cutting angle of the blade only
when the engine is not running.
