BAG CONTENTS: 2 2 I IlII III INSUIATION II JlJlLII I This unit is Double Insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate "layers" of electrical insulation instead of grounding. Tools and appliances built with a double insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a :means of grounding be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can be plugged into any standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failllre. I I I I IIIIIIIIIIIII CONSTRUCTION A WARNING All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSUI_TED." The symbol (square within a square) [] may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by SEARS service personnel ean cause the double insulation construction to become ineffectiw and result in serious in_ur_ I III IIIIIIIII I IIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII III IIIIIIIII II I IIIIIII I II I I I I I IIII II I IIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ASSEMBLY i /illlUllllllllUUillllllllli iii i ii (If unit i iiiiii i i is received i assembled, li repeat all steps i iii in this section iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii to be sure iiii assembly is correct.)

IVHI'_IMUM WIRE GAUGE RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Use only a 120 A,C. voltage supply as shown on nameplate of the unit to power your edger. 2. The extension cord used to reach the power source must be: a. Specifically marked as suitable for outdoor use. The cord must be marked with the suffix "TC-A." b. Heavy enough to carry current from the power source the full length of the extension cord to the unit. Otherwise, loss of power and overheating can occur causing damage to the unit. Refer to Figure 2 for minimum wire gauge recommendations. The cord must be marked with the proper wire gauge. (Appropriate extension cords are available.) Do not use multiple cords. c. In good condition. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. 3. Secure extension cord to unit as follows: a. Tie the power plug on the unit to the extension cord as shown in Figure 3. b. Insert plug into cord socket. Figure 3.

B. OPERATING POSITION Your unit has two operating positions, as follows: one for edging, one for trenching. To set the operating position, do the followin_ 1. Squeeze the pivot locking bar and pivot the motor to the desiredposition. Figure 5. Release the pivot locking bar, making sure the motor locks into position. 2. Pivot the front wheel position to correspond to the rear wheel position by squeezing the pivot locking bar and rotating the front wheel assembly. Figure 5. Make sure the front wheel assembly locks into position. Pivot Locking Bar Figure 5 7 C. SETTING THE DEPTH a WARNING [ Never attempt to adjust the depth adjusting[ wheel when the motor is running. Always stop[ the motor, wait until the blade stops turning,[ and disconnect the unit from the power source[ before making adjustments. [ To set edging/trenching depth, do the following: Press wheel locking button and pivot the wheel to the desired position_ Figure 6. Release the wheel locking button, making sure the wheel is in the locked position. Wheel Locking Button Your edger is equipped with three cutting positions which help control the depth of edging and trenching. Adjust to the following positions to compensate for blade Cutting Position i wear: Cutting Position 1 - First edging cut or re-cut after several wee_. Cutting Position 2 - Maintain initial cut - compensate for blade wear - slightly deeper cut than #1. Cutting Position 3 - Maintain initial cut - compensate for blade wear - slightly deeper cut than #2. IMPORTANT: Do not use cutting positions 2 and 3 for first cuts, or you may overload the motor, shortenLug it's life. la pllllll D. OPERATING i i ii i Cutting Position2 \(. Cutting Position3--.._ f I, _" ! ! Figure6 llllll i INSTRUCTIONS Blade Rotates Momentarily After the Switch is Released ® A WARNING Figure 1. 2. Allow the motor to reach full speed before entering the material to be cut. The blade has maximum cutting power at htl! speed and is less likely to bind or stall. If blade does not turn when switch is activated, make sure it is not stuck or bound by debris. :.:HI..HmHI E. OPERATING Stop Rotating Blade by Contact with I H TIPS • As you become fam_ar with your edger, you will be able to determine your own operating pace. Conditions such as depth of cut, angle of cut, and material being cut will regulate the speed and time requ_ed for your edging job. EDGING (Figure 8 )--yields precise, close cutting around sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc. TRENCHING (Figure 9 )--provides a wider cut or trench around sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc.. Trenching removes more material and therefore increases motor load. Be careful to cut slowly to avoid motor stalling or overload. 1. Allow the blade to reach full speed before placing the blade in the cut. Be careful to cut slowly to avoid motor stalling or overload. 2. If the area to be edged has never been cut or several :weeks have passed since the last cut, then use the cutting position 1. Figure 6. 3. Keep your edging path straight by guiding the depth adjusting wheel fiat on walkway. Figure 8. 4. Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, automobiles, etc. 5. Be careful when edging near trees or valuable plants. The high speed metal blade may cut roots and cause damage to the plants. 6. Always keep blade area clean. Stop the unit, make sure blade has completely stopped turning, and disconnect unit from the power source before cleaning. 8 3. 4. 7 Always release the switch and allow motor to stop when not cutting. To stop the motor, release the switch; allow blade to stop turning before removing it from the cut. Figure 7. iHIHI I.I, , H HHllll. lml. I V ,,..... 7. If blade stalls, immediately raise the blade from the cut by lowering the handle. If blade continues to stall when raised, stop the unit, disconnect the power source, open the blade guard cover, and inspect blade area for blockage or damage. Clean the blade area of mud/grass and close the blade guard cover.
