

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in

this manual. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use

of the edger before starting. Know how to stop the engine quickly.

• Familiarize yourself with all the safety and operating decals on this

equipment.



• Thoroughly inspect the area where the edger is to be used and remove

all foreign objects. Your equipment can propel small objects at high

speed causing personal injury or property damage. Stay away from

breakable objects, such as house windows, auto glass, greenhouses,

etc.

• Check that all nuts and bolts are tight and equipment is in good

condition.



• Always check that the ameout wire is connected before starting

engine.



• Never allow children or young teenagers to operate the edger.



• Keep area of operation clear of all bystanders, particularly small

children and pets.

• Only allow responsible individuals, who are familiar with the

instructions, to operate the edger.



• Do not operate the edger while under the inuence of alcohol, drugs,

or other medication which can cause drowsiness or affect your ability

to operate this machine safely.

• Do not use this machine if you are mentally or physically unable to

operate the machine safely.

• Always wear ANSI compliant safety goggles or safety glasses with side

shields when operating edger to protect your eyes from foreign objects,

which can be thrown from the unit.

• Wear appropriate clothing such as a long sleeved shirt or jacket. Also

wear long trousers or slacks. Do NOT wear shorts. Do NOT wear loose

clothing, which could get caught in this equipment.

• Always wear work gloves and sturdy footwear such as leather work

shoes or short boots. These will protect ankles and shins from small

sticks, splinters, and other ying debris, and improve traction.

• It is advisable to wear protective headgear to protect against being

struck by small ying particles, or being struck by low hanging

branches, twigs, or other objects, which may be unnoticed by the

operator.



• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.

• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives,

walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or trafc.



• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling. Always be sure of your

footing; keep a rm hold on the handle and walk; never run. Never

operate the edger at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces.

• Look behind and use care when backing.

• Never operate the edger without good visibility or light.



• Do not run the engine indoors or inside a closed area. The exhaust

fumes are dangerous, containing CARBON MONOXIDE, an

ODORLESS AND DEADLY GAS.

• Never leave the edger unattended when the engine is running. Stop

the engine and make sure all moving parts have stopped. Remove the

wire from the spark plug.

• Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to till too deep at too

fast a rate.

• If the edger should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine,

disconnect the spark plug wire and prevent it from touching the spark

plug. Check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning

of trouble.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, or other rough ground. Tall grass can

hide obstacles.



• Gasoline is extremely ammable, and gasoline vapors can explode if

ignited. Handle with care.

• Use an approved container.

• Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space for expansion as

the heat of the engine and/or sun can cause fuel to expand.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never ll fuel tank indoors.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow

engine to cool before refueling.



• Do not smoke while refueling.

• After refueling, replace fuel tank cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

• Never store fuel or edger with fuel in the tank inside a building where

fumes may reach an open ame.





• Always refer to the operator’s manual instructions for important details

if the edger is to be stored for an extended period.

• Never store the edger with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where

ignition sources are present such as water heaters, space heaters,

clothes dryers, etc.

• To reduce re hazard, keep edger free of grass, leaves, or other debris

build-up.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.



• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove the wire

from the spark plug and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent

accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the edger for any damage. If

damaged, have the equipment repaired by a trained technician before

restarting and operating.

• Stop the engine before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the unit. Make

sure all moving parts have stopped. Let the engine cool, disconnect

the spark plug wire and move it away from the spark plug.

• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running

except when specically recommended by the manufacturer.

• Keep the edger in safe working condition. Check all fasteners at

frequent intervals for proper tightness.

• When servicing or repairing the edger, do not tip the machine over or

up unless specically instructed to do so in this Manual. Service and

repair procedures can be done with the edger in an upright position.

Some procedures will be easier if the machine is lifted on a raised

platform or working surface.

• Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts.



• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation

regularly.

• Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed engine.

• Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as necessary.

• To guard against engine over-heating, always have engine debris lter

mounted and clean.



• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence

of children. Children are often attracted to the edger and the edging

activity.

• Keep children out of the edging area and under the watchful care of a

responsible adult.

• Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Be alert and turn edger off if children enter the area.

• Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small

children.

• Never allow children to operate the edger.
