forward adjustment
slot, the engine
platform should be approximately
level
and the edging blade tip should be 1-1/4
to 1-1/2 inches above the surface of the
ground.
• When the depth control lever is in the rear
adjustment
slot the edging guide (see
figure below) should be approximately
1/4
inch above the surface which you
are edging and the blade tip should be
2-5/8 to 2-7/8 inches below the surface of
the ground. The two middle adjustment
slots provide shallower edging depths.
• To adjust the depth control lever to give
the proper blade proper blade positions,
remove the ignition wire from the spark
plug and keep the wire away from the
spark plug. Place the edger on a work
bench or sturdy table. Position edger so
that the blade can extend below the top of
the bench top, put the depth control lever
in the rear adjustment
slot and place a
1/4 inch thick shim between the edging
guide and the top of the bench, see figure
below. Remove the hairpin cotter from the
