The edger’s depth of cut is controlled by a 

combination of operator height, blade wear, 

and the positioning of the edger’s guide 

wheel.

1.  Loosen the guide wheel adjusting knob. 

See Figure 21.

2.  Raise or lower the guide wheel to the 

desired setting. See Figure 21a.

3.  Tighten the guide wheel adjusting knob 

firmly. See Figure 21.

 WARNING!

Never adjust the guide wheel while the 

engine is running.

NOTE:

Guide wheel adjustment is also required to

aged blade IMMEDIATELY!

 

WARNING!



  Never repair a damaged blade by 

welding, straightening, or by modify-

ing its shape. An altered blade may 

break during operation, resulting in 

serious personal injury.



  Blades are not interchangeable 

between Shindaiwa LE series edg-

ers and trimmer/brushcutter models. 

Operating any unit with a blade or 

attachment not approved for that 

unit can be hazardous and may 

cause serious injury.

This unit must never be operated with a 

faulty or missing spark arrester or muf-

fler. Make sure the muffler is well secured

muffler is a fire hazard and may also cause 

hearing loss.

Keep the spark plug and wire connections 

tight and clean.

Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws (except 

carburetor adjusting screws) are tight.
