TIPS FOR BEST EDGING RESULTS
•
Do not force the edger. Edge the first time at a lesser
depth,(No more than 1/2” depth cut per pass), then do the
area again with a deeper setting.
•
•
Walk the edger at a slow, even pace
Check the blade condition. As it wears it becomes smaller,
thus reducing the cutting depth performance. Replace with a
new blade when the blade has worn to the blade’s wear limit
holes (Fig. 14).

Locate small thumb wheel on top of the belt housing (Fig. 13).
Turn the wheel clockwise 1 revolution to increase the
tension on the belt.
Try depressing the blade clutch lock-out and the blade
clutch lever and see if blade turns. If not, repeat step 2
until the blade turns.
ADJUSTING EDGER CUTTING DEPTH
1.
Grasp the depth adjustment lever located beside the front
wheel (Fig 13).
3.
2.
To raise the cutting blade, move the lever toward the front
of the wheel bracket (Fig. 13). Lowering the wheel
decreases the cutting depth.
3.
To lower the cutting blade, move the lever toward the rear
of the wheel bracket. Raising the wheel increases the
cutting depth.

Lawn and Garden readers have rated MTD Troy-Bilt TBE515 4 Cycle Lawn Edger Lawn Mower Owners Manual 2.0 out of 4.0 based on 3 product reviews. The manual tells you everything except HOW TO CHANGE THE BELT on the model TBE515
Easy to find parts and order them!
A total piece of junk; burns oil & engine seizes. Had to replace belt after second use. I invest in many lawn products but never again anything with a Troy-Bilt sticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
