2. Insert the hex wrench (1) through the holes. Make sure the receive washer does not turn.
3. Holding the hex wrench, turn the nut (5) clockwise with using a socket wrench.
4. Remove the nut and the clamp (4).
5. Place the blade (3).
6. Return the clamp and the nut.
7. Holding the hex wrench, turn the nut counterclockwise to fasten the blade.

To remove the blade, perform the above steps in reverse.

NOTE: The cutter blade-fastening nut (with spring washer) wears out in course of time. If there appears any wear or deformation on the nut, replace it.

Operation

WARNING:

• If the cutting tool moves at idle, adjust the idle speed of the engine down. Otherwise you cannot stop the cutting tool by throttle off and it may cause serious injury.
• Follow the warnings and precautions in the chapter "Safety precautions" and the instruction manual of the power unit.

Adjusting the blade depth

• Loosen the nut on the wheel.
• Move the wheel and adjust the height according to the operation, then tighten the nut.

Operation tips

• Before edging, water the area to soften the ground and make edging easier.
  Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that could be thrown.

• Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to avoid having to make more than one pass.

NOTE:

Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height between the hard surface and the top of the grass.

• Adjust the blades' depth of cut to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and grass using a minimum blade depth, usually with about 13mm (1/2^ ) of the blade into the ground.
