How To Use The Index Lever

1 Stop the engine. Do not change the position of the
index lever while the engine is running.
2 Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark
plug.
3 Loosen the front wheel knob (A) shown in
Figure 17. Slide the front wheel (B) all the way to
the right side.
4 Securely tighten the front wheel knob.
CAUTION
To prevent the blade (C) from hitting the wheel
while trimming, make sure the front wheel is set in
the extreme right position.
5 Disengage the index lever (D) (see Figure 18).
Move the index lever to the desired position.
• For edging, set the index lever at a desired
angle position (0_ to 45_). Usually, angle
position 30_ or 45_ will provided the desired
result (see Figure 18).
• For trimming, set the index lever at angle
position 90_ (see Figure 19).
6 Connect the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
7 Start the engine.
8 Move the clutch lever to the desired height. See
"How To Use The Clutch / Depth Control Lever" in
the Operation Section.
NOTE: For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths.
Then, cut at greater depths until the desired depth is
obtained.
Rotating parts can contact or entangle
hands, feet, hair, clothing, or
accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe
laceration can result.
• 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.
