mCAUTION! Always wear eye protection.
Cord Routing
• Always keep the extension cord away from the area being edged. Make sure the extension cord is behind the edger.
• If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it immediately. After
cord is unplugged, inspect it for damage and replace cord if necessary.
4. To switch OFF, release the ON/OFF trigger switch (Fig. 11).
mCAUTION! Do not force the trigger switch without rst
pressing the safety lock button.
mCAUTION! Do not tie or jam the trigger switch in the ON
position. The trigger switch is designed to be held in the ON
position by your hand only.
mWARNING! Take care when you turn the edger +
trencher ON that the cutter is in a safe position to operate.
NOTE: When a switch is released, a short spark may appear
from the engine. This is normal, and not a cause for concern. The spark is caused by the braking system that is built into the
product.
mCAUTION! If the edger + trencher becomes jammed or
stalled on a branch, sticks, or other foreign object, release the trigger immediately. Failure to stop the unit when the unit jams may cause excessive damage to the unit’s motor. Always wear eye protection when using the unit.
Edging Techniques
NOTE: The edger + trencher is a major appliance and should
not be operated simultaneously with other major appliances on the same household circuit.
Starting + Stopping
The electric edger + trencher is tted with a safety lock button
and a trigger switch to prevent accidental operation of the tool.
mCAUTION! The edger + trencher blade coasts after the
unit is turned o. Keep hands away from blade.
1. Before you start the unit, tilt the edger + trencher on back wheel to ensure blade is not in contact with the work surface.
2. Hold the edger + trencher rmly with both hands before
turning on.
3. To turn the edger + trencher ON, press and hold the safety lock button with your thumb, then squeeze the ON/OFF trigger switch with your ngers. Once the machine powers
on, you can release the safety button and proceed with operation (Fig. 11).
mCAUTION! Make sure that other persons and pets are
at least 100 ft (30.5 m) away.
mWARNING! Do not use the edger + trencher on wet
growth or in the rain.
mCAUTION! To prevent injury, keep hands away from
trigger when clearing jams. To prevent injury, do not use the
edger + trencher with any damaged parts.
1. Set cutting depth. Refer to Cut Depth Adjustment instructions on page 7.
2. Before starting the edger + trencher, line up the tool so the edge guide rests against the edge of the paved surface, back wheel should be on the paved surface when edging.
8
NOTE: When there is heavy overgrowth of grass over the
paved surface it may drag on the edge guide. An initial cut
may be required with the edger on the grass side. This will require lifting up the edge guide and may require reducing
the depth of cut.
3. To avoid kickback of the edger, tilt the handle down so the
blade is above the ground.
4. Turn switch on and allow blade to spin without moving the
tool.
5. Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, nding the edge of the paved surface and start edging. Then, move tool
forward slowly along edge of paved surface, keeping the edge guide pressed lightly against the pavement edge.
For the rst edging each season, it is best to move forward slowly because grass is thickest then. Subsequent edging will
be completed more rapidly.
If the tool slows down, back it up slightly until the blade returns to normal speed. During edging some sparks may be generated from hitting stones, this is normal. Do not attempt to edge when the grass or soil is wet or moist - for electrical safety and to prevent clogging of the blade chamber.
mWARNING! If you must edge under conditions that
cause the blade chamber to become clogged, release trigger, and wait for blade to come to complete stop! Unplug the
tool and remove clogged material with a stick. To continue to
operate the tool in a clogged condition will seriously overload the motor.
mCAUTION! Do not attempt to unclog the blade chamber
by dropping or tapping the tool on the ground. This can
damage the unit. Keep hands clear of edge guide and blade when cleaning as these wear to a very sharp point during edging.
Landscaping + Trenching
Before landscaping or trenching, inspect and ensure there are no exposed or buried cables or pipes or other objects that may create a hazard or interfere with operating the edger.
Set depth to only that required for the job, do not overload, if
tool slows, pull back slightly and wait until the blade returns to normal speed.
Application
Changing the Blade
mWARNING! Prior to attempting to perform any
maintenance which includes the changing of the blade, ensure the power supply cord has been totally disconnected from the main supply.
mWARNING! Wait for blade to come to complete stop!
Position the edger + trencher on its side with the blade
upwards. Ensure the surface you are working on is clean and foreign particles (stones, etc.) cannot enter the air intake slots of the motor housing.
1. Place the large ange spanner over the outer blade ange
(Fig. 12).
2. Fit the blade spanner over the blade lock nut and while
holding rmly the spanner on the blade ange, rotate the
locking nut in counterclockwise direction (Fig. 12).
3. Remove the lock nut counterclockwise along with the outer ange and blade (Fig. 12).

8. After the blade is secure, rotate the blade by hand
to ensure the blade is not making contact with any components of the edger.
9. Blade wear is expected whenever you use your edger.
10. The blade wears quite quickly when edging along concrete
paths. This does not aect the eciency of the edger and
is expected due to the aggressive abrasion of concrete on steel.
NOTE: To increase blade life, keep initial cutting depth at
minimum and increase depth setting as blade wears.
