manual abstract
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times as the rotating blade can cause injury. 4. Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. 5. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the edger for any damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating the edger. 6. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. 7. Stop the engine whenever you leave the equipment, before cleaning the guard assembly, and when making any repairs or inspections. 8. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. 9. Do not run the engine indoors. 10. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before unclogging guard assembly. 11. Never operate edger without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place. 12. Always operate the edger so that the protective guard guide is positioned between the walk and the rotating blade. Never allow the rotating blade to operate directly against concrete walk or drive. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE 1. Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. 2. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. 3. Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside of a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. 4. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. I NOTE This unit is shipped WITHOUT GASOLINE or OIL. After assembly, see operating section of this manual for proper fuel and engine oil recommendations.
