Operation

Using a hand-held edger

CAUTION!

Low-speed edging can lead to pre-

mature clutch failure.

Before edging, make sure the area ■

is soft enough so the blade does not

bog down. If necessary, water the area

before edging.

Remove debris and other obstacles that

■

could be thrown by the rotating blade.

Wear eye protection, long pants,

■

and boots when operating this

machine!

Whenever you strike a hard object ■

with the blade, always stop the edger

and carefully inspect the blade for

damage. NEVER OPERATE THE

EDGER WITH A DAMAGED BLADE!

WARNING!

The edger’s depth of cut is controlled by

a combination of operator height, blade

wear, and the positioning of the edger’s

guide wheel.

To adjust blade height:

Loosen the guide wheel adjusting knob.1.

Raise or lower the guide wheel to the 2.

desired setting.

Tighten the guide wheel adjusting knob 3.

ﬁrmly.

NOTE:

Guide wheel adjustment is also required

to compensate for blade wear.

Adjusting blade cutting depth

Plan your work so the edger blade is ■

always on your right-hand side.

Begin each pass by positioning the unit ■

over the work, and with the engine run-

ning at about half-throttle. Slowly lower

the blade to the ground while applying

full throttle.

Do not move the edger into the work so ■

fast that the engine or blade bogs down.

Regular and frequent use of the edger ■

will make a neater lawn, and a frequently

trimmed edge will be easier to maintain.

WARNING!

Use only Shindaiwa replace-

ment edger blades.

WARNING!

Never adjust the guide wheel

while the engine is running.
