How to Edge Along a Curb
The height of the front wheel and right rear wheel are adjustable to allow for edging along a curb.
NOTE: Figure 9 shows the unit correctly configured for edging
along a curb. Refer to Figure 9 when following the steps below:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
3. Loosen the front wheel knob.
4. Slide the wheel to the right, enough to clear the curb and
balance the unit.
5. Securely tighten the front wheel knob.
6. Use the front wheel adjustment lever to lower the front
wheel enough so the unit will be level.
7. Loosen the rear wheel knob.
8. Lower the right rear wheel enough so the unit will be level.
9. Securely tighten the rear wheel knob.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when edging along a curb. Make sure
the unit is balanced. Make sure of your footing. Stay alert
for traffic or other hazards.
EDGING TIPS
WARNING
Read the Operator's manual. Know location and functions
of all controls. Keep all safety devices and shields in place.
Never allow children or uninstructed adults to operate the
edger. Keep bystanders away from machine. Keep away
from the blade and all rotating parts, which cause injury.
• Edging is best performed when conditions are dry. If the
soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed around the blade
causing premature belt wear and decreased performance.
• If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the
engine and remove the wire from the spark plug. Re
move the packed dirt and debris from the blade.
• For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths. Then, cut at
greater depths until the desired depth is obtained.
• Edging can be customized by varying the number of
passes and the distance between the blade and the edge
of sidewalk, driveway, or curb.
