EDGING TIPS
O
Edging is best performed when conditions are dry. If
the soil is to wet, did becbmes packed inand around
the blade causing premature belt wear and de-
creased performance
0 If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop
the engine, remove the spark plug wire, and remove
the packed debris before continuing to edge.
0 If very deep edging is required, we recommendthat
a shallow cut be made first,then cuts at greater depth
until the desired depth is obtained_
0 Uniform edging can be performed when the blade
guide rides on and against the surface which you are
edging
@ Edging can be Customized by varying the numberof
passes and by the distance your blade is from the
surface you are edging
