 Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which
can be thrown or become entangled in the edger blade.
 Be sure all guards are properly and securely attached.
 Replace dull or worn blade; do not attempt to sharpen.
 Use this edger for edging along sidewalks, driveways,
flower beds, and similar areas. Do not use for any other
purpose.
 Be thoroughly familiar with the controls. Know how to
stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
 Do not use the edger on or near graveled surfaces.
 Make yourself familiar with the area you are edging. Be
aware of uneven sidewalks and holes in the terrain as well
as other similar hazardous conditions (example: wire or
wire rope which can break off and become a dangerous
projectile). Always push the edger attachment slowly over
rough ground.
 Do not attempt to remove cut material nor hold material
to be cut when the engine is running or when the cutting
blade is moving.
 Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
 Always keep your right hand on the rear handle and your
left hand on the front handle when the blade is rotating.
 A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to
spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger released.
Maintain proper control until the blade has completely
stopped rotating.
 Check blade nut for tightness before operating the
attachment.
