8.  If shield clogs with mud or debris, do not hit unit against hard 

surfaces to clean, or damage to unit may occur. Stop engine and 

unclog shield with a suitable tool.

 

Be sure blade has completely stopped spinning before setting unit 

on concrete or other hard surface.  Never allow spinning blade to 

contact hard surfaces.  Carbide teeth on blade can break, or damage 

to surface can occur.  

The complete unit, specifically the drive shaft assembly and muffler 

exhaust area may become very hot during use. Avoid contact during 

and immediately after operation, otherwise serious personal injury 

may result.

Before edging, be sure to read and understand the entire Operator’s 

Manual and Safety Manual to avoid the chance of serious personal 

injury.

1.  Before edging, water the area to soften the ground to make edging 

easier.

2.  Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects 

that could be thrown.

3.  Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to 

avoid having to make more than one pass.

Never adjust blade height or clear debris from shield with engine 

running, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
