position before starting engine.
Before starting engine, adjust cutterhead angle.
The cutterhead angling lever, located on the left
hand side of the frame, enables the operator
to position the blade horizontally for trimming
or choose several vertical positions for edging.
Manually pull out choke on engine.
Grasp the recoil starting handle and pull quickly.
Return the handle slowly. If the engine fails to
start after three or four pulls, lower the throttle
to the detented full throttle (fast) position.
WARNING
Never adjust cutterhead angle when engine
is running.
Once the engine starts, push the choke to the oꢀ
position. UsetheSLOWpositiontoidletheengine.
ENGAGING THE DRIVE BELT
Move clutch and depth lever forward to engage
drive belt and blade. Notches in base of lever
permit adjusting depth of cut for edging and height
for trimming.
TO STOP
Disengage edger-trimmer clutch and depth lever.
Move throttle control to stop position. Make
sure engine is stopped and blade is not
rotating before leaving the operating position.

CORRECT EDGER-TRIMMER USAGE
Too deep a cut will put unnecessary stress
on engine and accelerate blade wear. Cutting
too shallow allows rapid regrowth of roots.
CAUTION
Readallmanualsprovidedbeforeoperating.
These manuals give a detailed description
of operation and point out other areas of
caution. Familiarize yourself thoroughly
with equipment before attempting to use it.
Make sure to re-adjust cutting depth as blade
begins to wear at tips.
Avoid edging or trimming in wet grass, as it may
clog up in the blade guard and cause splattering.
The general appearance will be much better when
grass is dry.
OPERATION OF THE EDGER-
TRIMMER
Always push edger-trimmer at moderate walking
speed — at this speed your edger-trimmer is
designed to cut more than 100 ft. per minute.
Four-wheel design of edger-trimmer permits easy
and stable edging, riding securely on sidewalk or
cement surfaces.
WARNING
Keep all shields in place. Never at-
tempt to clear discharge areas or edger-
trimmer blade wihout disengaging the
edger-trimmer and stopping the engine.
Around specially shaped ꢁower beds or curved
sections, follow these simple steps. It will be
easier to cut around corners when front wheels
are placed together at right side of trimmer-edger.
Before starting engine, remove wheel spacer
clip on front axle, slide wheels to side away from
blade, and replace spacer.
Your edger-trimmer is designed to give a
professionally groomed appearance to your
lawn with minimum eꢀort. It will edge lawns at
walks, around ꢁower beds, trim close to poles
and hydrants, and also under fences and other
hard to reach locations. For best appearance
around ꢁowers, adjust blade to 20" angle cut.
After starting engine, set blade depth and by
slightly lifting rear wheels, guide edger-trimmer
around corners and odd angles.
For best results, adjust the cutting depth of the
blade to within 1/2" to 1" deep (with a new blade
usually in the third notch of the adjustment bracket
at handle).
WARNING TO PURCHASERS OF
