How To Use The Clutch/Depth Control Lever

• Keep a safe distance from rotating blade

during operation.

Thrown debris can cause severe

laceration.

WARNING

The clutch / depth control lever has two blade

functions, a clutch and a depth control. When the

lever is moved forward, the clutch will first engage the

edger blade. Continue to move the lever forward to

lower the edger blade and to set the depth of cut.

1 Start the engine.

2 To engage the blade, push the lever (B) forward

(see Figure 16).

3 To lower the cutting blade, continue moving the

lever forward. There are five positions down to

approximately 2−3/4 inches deep. Set the lever in

one of the five positions.

4 To raise the cutting blade, pull the lever back.

NOTE: For deep edging, first cut at shallow depths.

Then, cut at greater depths until the desired depth is

obtained.
