EDGER

Blade

Inspection
Always wear gloves when working around the
blade. Before each use, check the blade and
split pin for wear and damage, and check the
tightness of the blade nut. Examine the entire
head area, including the grass deflector, and
clear or clean dirt, debris, or any other foreign
materials from it.

WARNING
A worn, damaged or cracked blade can
break, and pieces of the damaged blade can
become dangerous projectiles.
Inspect the blade regularly, and do not
operate the stick edger with a dull, worn,
cracked or damaged blade.
MINIMUM BLADE LENGTH
5.5" (140 mm)
The blade must be replaced when its overall
length is reduced to 5.5" (140 mm).
SERVICING YOUR HONDA STICK EDGER
Removal and Installation
Always wear gloves when working around the
blade.
A torque wrench is required to install the blade;
if you do not have one, have an authorized
Honda servicing dealer tighten the blade nut for
you. If the blade nut is tightened too much, the
blade bolt can break. If it is not tightened
enough, the blade could come off. In either
case, it would be possible for the blade to fly off
while you are operating the stick edger.
BLADE REPLACEMENT:
Your authorized Honda servicing dealer has
blades that have been designed and approved
for your stick edger and are covered by the
Honda Distributor's Limited Warranty. Non-
Honda blades are usually designed for
universal applications. Although aftermarket
blades may fit on your stick edger, they may not
meet factory specifications and could make
your stick edger unsafe.
1. Move the ignition switch to the OFF (0)
position and disconnect the spark plug cap.
2. Remove and discard the split pin.
3. Rotate the blade until the hole in inner blade
holder B aligns with round stopper hole in
the gear case.
