A
Before Starting the Engine
3 . The wheels are adjusted to provide the desired depth of cut . Assure the depth control knob is tight .

WARNING
Keep all bystanders, especially CHILDREN, away during operation .
B
How to Operate the Edger
DANGER
Never run engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area . Engine exhaust contains CARBON MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS
and DEADLY gas .
WARNING
Debris thrown from Edger can cause severe eye damage . Always wear ANSI compliant safety glasses or eye
shields when operating Edger . If you wear eyeglasses, put an OSHA certified Wide-Vision Safety Mask over
your eyeglasses .
C
Starting the Edger
1 . Start the engine per the (PWSTM4317) operator manual instructions .
2 . Let the engine run at idle speed for two minutes . At idle speed the centrifugal clutch does not engage the
Edger blade .
WARNING
If the blade turns with the engine at idle speed, do not use the Edger until the engine idle speed is adjusted to a slower
speed so the blade does not rotate . Contact a servicing dealer if required .
3 . Slowly increase the engine speed to full throttle . This engages the clutch and causes the blade to rotate .
4 . It is recommended that the Edger be used with the engine at full throttle . This yields best performance and maintains
cooling air flow for the engine . Lower engine speeds can be used when required .
D
Stopping the Edger
1 . Release the throttle lever and allow the engine to idle for a few moments . The Edger blade will not rotate with the
engine at idle speed .
2 . Move the ignition switch to the "STOP" position .
E
How to Change the Edger Cutting Depth
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, never adjust the cutting depth when
the engine is running . Stop the engine, adjust the cutting
depth, then restart the engine .
1 . Loosen knob and rotate the wheel assembly upward
or downward to regulate the cutting depth of the blade .
Retighten knob before operating . (See Fig . 7)
NOTE: Cutting depth setting will position the blade from
above the surface of the ground level to up to 2 .5 inches
(63 mm) deep .
NOTICE
Do not overload the Edger capacity by attempting to edge too deep at too fast a rate . To edge at deeper settings, make
multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths .
WARNING
Use extreme caution when edging along a curb . Make sure the unit is balanced and stable . Make sure of your footing .
Stay alert for traffic or other hazards .
