ASSEMBLY
2-3 blades per cut is the average used for a small to medium
sized lawn.
Please note that blades are not to be used on any other organic material
than grass.
If blades encounter any material denser than grass, they may become prone to
being dislodged from the blade wheel or can snap if they encounter lawn
edging, paving, fencing or stone/wood borders.
We recommend to use the flower guard as a guide to prevent blades hitting lawn
edging, paving, fencing or stone/wood borders 
OPERATION
Edge Guide Wheel
First, rotate the Motor Unit 90° .
Adjust the angle of the Motor Unit to be at a horizontal setting.
Then position the Edge Guide Wheel (A) on the ground for edge mode
While edging, allow the tip of the Blade to make contact.
Do not force the Blade.
The wheel helps to prevent the unit from touching the ground.
Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the Blade.
Flower Guard
Pul I the Flower Guard [3) down into place.
This protects flower beds and tree barks from being damaged when cutting close
to edges. It will also help prevent any damage to the
blade.
The Flower Guard can also be used to
prevent blades encountering any material denser than grass. Such as lawn
edging, paving, fencing or stone/wood borders.
If blades come into contact with harder surfaces they may become prone to
being dislodged from the blade wheel or can snap.
MAINTENANCE
If you wish to remove the Safety Guard for any reason, simply insert a
flathead screwdriver into the cavity shown.
Slightly push and tilt the screwdriver (1) whilst pulling the Guard towards
you at the same time (2). Take extra care not to snap any of the Guard as this
