Instruction Manual
Assembling the Edger Attachment
Pull the protective caps off of the ends of the shaft and keep them in a safe place for later use.
- Connecting drive tube to gearbox (Fig.1)
1. Loosen the 2 clamping screws (B1+B2) on the gearbox (B4) of the Edger Attachment Do not remove!
2.Insert curved end of drive tube (B) in the gearbox (B4), turn the gearbox (B4) back and forth as necessary.
3. Push the shaft in as far as it will go.
4. Align the gearbox on the shaft so that the screw (B2) is aligned with the hole (B3) in the shaft.
5.Tighten the clamping screws (B1+B2) firmly.
2. Assemble the edger attachment tube to the engine tool (Fig.2)
Aligh the pin (C) with the hole of the shaft connector hole (E), inset the shaft (A) to the shaft connector until the pin get into the hole(E) and screw the knob (D) tightly.
2 Mounting the Cutting Blade / Edger Attachment
- Insert the Allen key (D1) as far as possible into the bore (C7), push lightly and rotate back and forth a little together with the inner flange (C1) until the shaft is blocked.
- Fit Spark plug wrench (10) onto nut (C5).
- Turn nut (C5) clockwise (left-hand thread) and remove it.
- Remove the outer flange (C3) and flange cover (C4).
- Position the cutting blade (C2) on the thrust plate (C6) at the inner flange (C1).
- Warning! The collar (arrow) must engage the hole in the cutting blade.
- Fit the outer flange (C3) and flange cover (C4) on the shaft and block the shaft.
- Screw nut (C5) anti-clockwise onto shaft and tighten.
Working with Edger Attachment
An arrow on the deflector shows the correct direction of rotation of the
cutting blade The arrow on the deflector must always face away from you, so
that cuttings and other debris will be diverted away from the machine and your
position.
Adjust carrying harness and grip to suit your size before starting work. The
machine should be properly balanced as specified in your instruction manual
for proper control and less fatigue in operation. To be better prepared in
case of an emergency, practise
releasing the unit from the harness as quickly as possible.
Adjust the depth of cut (Fig.3)
- Shut off the engine – Risk of accident!
- Loosen the wingnut (E1) anti-clockwise
- Adjust wheel (E2):
upwards – depth of cut (A) increases
downwards – depth of cut (A) decreases
The depth of cutis influenced by uneven ground as well as height and working position of the operator. For this reason,
- adjust the wheel (E2) so that the blade barely touches the ground when the machine is held in a normal working posture or penetrates the ground at most to a depth (B) of 5mm.
- Tighten wingnut (E1) clockwise
- Standing in the normal working position, check the depth of cut again – correct it if necessary
ATTENTION: when working on flat ground, adjust the alignment guide
board(E3) to be short, and when working on road side with gap, adjust the
alignment guide board (E3) to be longer and finable for the road gap(Fig.4).
Warning! Do not adjust the deflector.
The deflector has been set by the manufacturer so that the arrow on the
deflector and the open side point away from the operator. This ensures that
cuttings and other debris will be directed away from the machine and operator.
Edging
- Start the engine
- Start the cut at least half throttle and continue cutting at full throttle
- Hold and guide the unit so that the blade is vertical
- Cut steadily so that the engine speed does not decline to any major extent – do not apply force
- Cut paranormal walking pace
- Do not push the blade into the ground
- Always walk forwards when cutting, do not pull the unit towards you
- Cut ata steady pace – this avoids having to make several passes
- Use the gunning sight (1) for the cutting blade to align the blade to the edge
Replacing the cutting blade / Edger Attachment
Do not attempt to straighten or weld a bent or cracked blade – it may break –
it must be replaced
Replace the blade (1) if its length (A) is no longer sufficient to maintain
the necessary ground clearance (B) and obtain the required depth of cut (C)
ATTENTION: when replacing parts or doing maintenance, make sure switching
off the engine until the cutting parts stop rotary.
