of the edger, behind the edger blade. It is used to vary the angle
of the edger blade between one of three positions for edging,
trenching or beveled edging.

The curb height adjustment lever is found on the rear portion
of the edger. When placed in an applicable notch, it aids in
stabilizing the edger while edging grass along a curb.
