During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting tool at regular
intervals. If the behavior of the tool
changes, stop the engine immediately,
and check the nut securing the tool for
tightness and the cutting tool for cracks
and damage.
If the edger vibrates abnormally, imme-
diateley stop the engine and check for
the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble. Replace cracked,
bent, warped, damaged, excessively
worn or dull cutting tools immediately.

Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
If the edger strikes a foreign object,
follow these stops: stop the engine,
disconnect spark plug lead, inspect for
damage and repair any damage before
restarting and operating the product.
Do not operate using the starting throttle
lock as you do not have control of the
engine speed. See section of your
owner's manual on the proper use of the
slide control.
If the cutting tool or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always turn off the
engine, disconnect spark plug lead and
make sure the cutting tool has stopped,
before cleaning. Keep lead away from

intentional starting. Grass, weeds, etc.
should be cleaned off the cutting tool at

Warning!
A loose blade may cause the blade to
vibrate, crack, break or come off the
edger, which may result in serious or
fatal injury. Make sure that the blade is
properly tightened. Use the wrench
supplied or one of sufficient length to
obtain the proper torque. If the blade
loosens after being properly tightened,
stop work immediately. The retaining nut
may be worn or damaged and should be
replaced.
This edger is normally to be used at
ground level with the cutting attachment
perpendicular to the ground. Use of an
edger above ground level or with the
cutting attachment parallel to the ground
may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the edger may be more difficult to
control. Never use your edger as a
hedge trimmer.
