ASSEMBLY Assembly of the blade guard and blade First place the blade guard (A) on the angle gear (B), see the diagram. There is a slot on the guard that fits to a guide flange on the gear housing. Fit the clamp (C) on the opposite side against the guard, on the angle gear. The clamp also has a slot that fits to the gear‘s guide flange. Insert the bolt (D) and the locking handle (E) and pull together the clamp and guard. See the diagram. Do not tighten too hard. It should be possible for the blade guard to rotate on the gear housing. Rotate the guard on the gear housing until the hole on the gear housing for the locking pin (F) is visible. Fit the drive disc (G) on the gear housing axle and rotate the drive disc until the hole in the drive disc aligns with the hole in the gear housing. Insert the locking pin through the hole in the gear housing and into the hole in the drive disc. Fit the blade (H), washer (J) and tighten the bolt (K). The bolt has a lefthand thread. Tighten securely.

Adjusting the edger‘s cutting depth The cutting depth should be adjusted before starting work. Loosen the locking handle (A) and rotate the guard (B) by moving the locking handle backwards or forwards. If the locking handle is moved forwards (from the machine) the cutting depth is increased. If the locking handle is moved backwards (towards the machine) the cutting depth is reduced.

NOTE! Do not forget to remove the locking pin before using the machine.

WARNING! Under no circumstances may the edge cutter blade be used without the blade guard fitted.

WARNING! Always bear the machine on the right side of the body. Always wear protective glasses, long trousers and heavy-duty shoes when using the machine. Observe your surroundings, ensure people and animals do not come in the immediate vicinity or can be hit by thrown objects. Apply full throttle before the blade starts to work on the soil. MAINTENANCE

Two-part shaft The end of the drive axle in the lower shaft should be lubricated with grease every 30 hours. There is a risk that the drive axle ends (splined coupling) on two-part shafts jam if they are not lubricated regularly. Lubricating the flexible drive axle Inside the edger‘s drive shaft is a flexible drive axle. The flexible drive axle should be regularly lubricated after 30 hours of operation. Loosen the two screws on the angle gear and remove it. The flexible drive axle is easily removed from the shaft by taking a firm grip on the axle end. Lubricate the flexible drive axle over its entire length and reinsert it in the shaft. Turn the axle while inserting it so that it correctly engages in the clutch. Replace the angle gear on the drive axle shaft and tighten the two screws.
