EDGING DEPTH
DANGER – Never attempt to
adjust the depth while the edger is
running.
The EZ-Edge-n-Store can be adjusted
to edge at different depths - 3 edging
depths and 1 transportation mode.
To adjust the depth of the cut, move
the front adjustment lever up or down
to the desired depth setting. Cutting
depths are 5/8", 1" and 1 1/2". (see
depth indicator label).
TRANSPORT MODE
The edger can be raised for
transportation and storage. To adjust
to transport mode, lower the lever to
the bottom "Roll" position. The "Roll"
position raises the edge guide so
that it does not hit the ground while
transporting.
EDGE GUIDE
The EZ-Edge-n-Store is equipped with
a fixed edge guide that makes it easy
to follow a sidewalk or curb.
CAUTION – Make sure the edger
blade will only contact dirt before
turning on.

REMOVING THE BLADE COVER
The blade cover can be easily
removed to clean out dirt and debris.
Depress the button on the top of the
blade cover and lift up to remove the
blade cover. To re-attach the blade
cover, simply line up blade cover
over the blade guard and press down
until the button locks in place. For
your safety the edger will not operate
unless the guard is locked securely in
place. See Figure 5.
