8 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1 Holding the unit
Warning: Always wear eye, hearing, foot and body protection to reduce the
risk of injury when operating this unit.
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (fig. 3). Check for the following:
 The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing.
 Both hands are holding the handle bar firmly.
 The edger wheel is adjusted for proper cut depth as shown in Fig. 4 and edger positions
are as shown in Fig. 3.
8.2 Adjusting edger cutting depth
 Gently pull the depth adjustment lever away from the wheel bracket (Fig. 4).
 To raise the cutting blade, move the lever toward the front of the wheel bracket (Fig. 4).
Lowering the wheel decreases the cutting depth.
 To lower the cutting blade, move the lever toward the rear of the wheel bracket. Raising
the wheel increases the cutting depth.
8.3 Tips for best edging results
 After starting the engine, keep the unit tilted back so the blade does not touch the ground.
Move the unit to the desired location and slowly lower the blade into the ground.
 Do not force the edger. Edge the first time at a lesser depth, then do the area again with a
deeper setting.
 Walk the edger at a slow, even pace.
 Check the blade condition (Fig. 5). As it wears it becomes smaller, thus reducing the
cutting depth performance. Replace the blade when it no longer makes contact with the
ground.
9 OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
Warning: Lack of lubrication voids engine warranty. Gasoline and oil must
be mixed at 40:1.
 The engine must use the mixture oil, the mixture ratio is 40:1.
 The gasoline should use the 90 octane or 93 octane unleaded gasoline.
 The oil should be two-stroke FC special mixing oil.
 Fill 585 ml gasoline (position 1) in the pot, and add two-stroke oil up to the 600 ml mark,
then shake it well.
 Don’t add too much fuel to the fuel tank, the fuel capacity should be 80 % of the fuel tank,
there should be some space left for gasoline expansion.
