PRIMER
The primer is used to pump gas into the carburetor.
Use it to start a cold engine, but do not use it to
restart a warm engine after short shutdown. Refer to
the separate engine manual packed with your edger.
BLADETI_ CONTROL
The cutting blade can be adjusted to five positions;
from beveling to edging to trenching. To adjust,
make sure the engine is not running. Release the
blade adjustment lever on the pivot bracket and pivot
the lever to the desired cutting position. Place the
blade adjustment lever in the notch desired. See

adjusted to edge along a curb. The forward handle
position is for normal edging operation. Pull the
control handle out and move handle towards the rear
of the unit to compensate for the height of the curb.
See Figure 9.
