WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
◾
Lead from lead-based paints
◾
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
◾
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.

in higher speed; less pressure on the trigger results in lower speed. Adjust the
speed to suit the task at hand.
Speed-Adjustment Function (Fig. 10)
The edger has two speed ranges. Position “1” is for low speeds; Position “2” is for
higher speeds. Push or pull the high/low-speed switch to choose the suitable speed
range during operation.
To stop
Release the trigger to stop the edger.
NOTICE: The motor runs only when the lock-off button and trigger are both pressed.

and after nishing work.
OPERATING TIPS
◾
Hold and guide the edger so that the blade is vertical.
◾
Operate at no more than a normal walking pace.
◾
Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down, you are edging too quickly;
slow your pace.
◾
Do not force the blade into the ground. Light contact of the blade against the
sidewalk edge, curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.
◾
Always walk forward when cutting and move the edger forward. Do not pull the
edger towards you.

uneven edge. If the blade guard
becomes clogged, stop the motor,
remove the battery pack, and
remove debris from the blade guard.
