2. Loosen the depth-adjusting knob in the direction of
the unlocking arrow marked on the knob (Fig. C).
3. Move the guide wheel, along
guide bar, up to increase the depth of cut or down to
decrease the depth (Fig. D).
4. Adjust the guide wheel so that the blade just touches
the ground or breaks the surface of the soil by no
more than 5mm (Fig. E) and then tighten it securely.
5. Standing in the normal working position, check the
depth of cut again and correct it if necessary.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See "STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD" section
in the power head PH1400E operator's manual.
OPERATING TIPS
◾
Hold and guide the power head so that the blade is
vertical. Use the sight line to line the blade up with the
edge of the bed (Fig. F).
◾
Operate at no more than a normal walking pace. If the
blade begins to bog down, you are edging too fast;
slow your pace.
◾
Always walk forwards when cutting and move the
edger forward. Do not pull the edger towards you.
◾
Do not force the blade into the ground. Light contact
of the blade against the sidewalk edge, curb, etc., is
acceptable and will not damage the edger.
◾
Best results are obtained when grass is dry. Avoid
edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade
guard might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the
blade guard becomes clogged, stop the motor, remove
the battery pack, and remove debris from the blade
guard.
