The guard swings open for cleaning inside of blade housing or for changing blades. To open guard turn the guard release knob clockwise (facing blade guard side of tool) until it stops (a turn of about 90°) fig. 9 detail; pull the knob to open the door (fig. 9A). When closing the guard turn the knob clockwise 90° (fig. 9 detail) and push the door completely closed. The knob should automatically lock the door. If the knob doesn’t return to the locked position press the door until the knob engages. BE SURE GUARD IS PROPERLY CLOSED AND KNOB IS LOCKING IT BEFORE OPERATING EDGER. Blade (Figure 10) Wait for blade to come to complete stop! UNPLUG TOOL! The blade, two spacers and hex head nut with conical washer should be attached to your edger in the order shown. Please check that the blade has been properly mounted before using your edger. The Edge Hog blade has two wear indicators that show when blade needs to be replaced. When the blade wears to the small hole at each end of the blade it will give only 1/4" depth of cut and should be replaced. Tip: To increase blade life, keep initial cutting depth at minimum and increase depth setting as blade wears. TO REMOVE THE BLADE FOR REPLACEMENT: Wait for blade to come to complete stop! UNPLUG TOOL! CAUTION: Blade rotates momentarily after the switch is released. 1. Turn knob and open door. 2. Loosen the hex head nut (9/16”). Use a 1" wrench on the outer spacer, or a 2” x 4” wood block between the blade and guard if necessary to hold the blade from turning. TO ATTACH NEW BLADE: 3. Ensure inner spacer is on shaft—"flats" in spacer hole must engage with "flats" on shaft. 4. Holding the spacer in place, put the blade on the shaft, as shown (Figure 10). 5. Hold the blade against the spacer and install the outer spacer, again aligning the flats in the spacer with the flats on the shaft. 6. Install the hex head nut and conical washer, then tighten with a wrench (140 in.pounds). Note: Replace hex head nut and conical washer only with identical replacement part, see Service Information. 7. Close door; knob must be in locking position. Switch To turn tool ON, squeeze the trigger switch. The trigger has been designed so that it is very easy to hold in the ON position. To turn tool OFF, release the trigger. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: The edger is a major appliance and should not be operated simultaneously with other major appliances on the same household circuit. Warning: Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100 feet away. 1. Set cut depth at 1” and set edge guide to the down position, refer to Assembly Instructions. 2. Before starting the edger, line up the tool so the edge guide rests against the edge of the paved surface (Figure 11). Both rear wheels should be on the paved surface when edging. Tip: When there is heavy overgrowth of grass over the paved surface it may drag on the guard. An initial cut may be required with the edger on the grass side. This will require lifting up the edge guide and may require reducing the depth of cut (see Edge Guide and Depth Adjustment instructions). 3. To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle down so the blade is above the ground (Figure 12). 4. Turn switch ON and allow blade to spin without moving tool. 5. Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, finding the edge of the paved surface and start edging. Then move tool forward slowly along edge of paved surface, keeping the edge guide pressed lightly against the pavement edge. For the first edging each season, it is best to move forward slowly because grass is thickest then. Subsequent edging will be completed more rapidly. If the too...
