Setting up
Assembling the Shaft
The shaft must be assembled on removal from the carton.
Remove the bag containing the two small screws from
the shaft.
Note:
Before assembling the upper and lower shafts, you
will need to remove and discard the protector packaging.
1. Insert the lower shaft into the hole at the back of the unit.
Carefully feed the wire into the tube. Align the holes so
the bolt can be fed through.
2. Slide the upper handle on the
lower handle again align the
holes so the bolt and nut can
be fitted.
Handle fitment
Fit the secondary handle onto
the upper handle and rotate to
suit the operator and then tighten
the bolt.
Cord routing
Always make sure that you route the cord away from the
work area to prevent it from coming near the blade of the
edger. Lay your cable route before starting work.
Start your edger at the point nearest to the electrical socket,
and then move away whilst working. This will mean that the
cord will be pulled through the area that has already been
cut, thereby keeping it out of danger of being cut through
by the blade.
Cord Restraint
Your 909 EDG5-A is fitted with a cord restraint to prevent
the power cable from both being disconnected and also to
prevent excessive strain on the connecting plugs
during use.
It is recommended the cord
restraint is used as follows:
Approx 300mm from the end of
the extension cable, form a tight
loop in the extension cable, and
feed the loop through the square
hole beneath the handle. Place
the loop over the inner hook in
the handle to prevent the cable
pulling back through the square hole.
Switching on
Your 909 EDG5-A is fitted with
a lock off button to prevent
accidental operation.
To turn on the edger push in
the side lock off button and then
depress the switch fully.
Hold in the switch to maintain
power to the unit. To stop the
edger, release switch.
Take care when you turn the edger “On” that the cutter is in
a safe position to operate.
