Resumen del manual
Unpacking Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. 2 Know your product You have purchased a powerful 1400-watt Landscape Edger, which is ideal for traditional hard surface edging along driveways, sidewalks as well as landscaping tasks around the lawn. By raising the edge guide, the edger can be used in the garden for such tasks as shaping borders, around trees and flowerbeds. 1. Handle 2. Power switch 3. Safety levers 4. Upper shaft 5.

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 upper shaft (5) into the lower shaft (8), taking care not to tangle the cable inside the shaft. 2. Slide the lower section of the shaft locking collar (5) onto the lower shaft and turn it anti-clockwise to lock it on to the lower shaft. 3. Align the holes in the collar with the holes in the shaft then fit the two small screws, to lock in the collar. Shaft Adjustment The shaft can be adjusted to suit the operator. Loosen the locking collar (5) and slide the upper (4) and lower (8) shafts apart until the desired length is achieved. Re-tighten the collar. 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 GMC EDG3 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 GMC EDG3 is fitted with two safety levers to prevent accidental operation of the tool. To turn on the edger pull in one or both Safety levers (3) and press the power switch (2) fully down. Hold one or both of the levers in to maintain power to the unit. To stop the edger, release levers. Take care when you turn the edger “On” that the cutter is in a safe position to operate. Edge Guide The edge guide is used when edging is required against a solid material like a paved surface. It is important to ensure the edge guide is used in these conditions as the edge guide will assist in preventing the blade from making direct contact with the paved surface. • To set the edge guide in the Down position, grasp the Edge Guide Lever (6) and move the knob sideways toward the centre of the edger and then push downwards. Note: The Edge Guide Lever should be returned to the upright position to lock the Guide in the down position. • To set the edge guide in the Up position, grasp the Edge Guide Lever and move the knob sideways toward the centre of the edger and then pull upwards to lift the guide. Note. The Edge Guide Lever should be returned to the upright position to lock the Guide in the raised position. Cutting Depth The Cutting Depth of the edger can be altered to one of 3 settings to a Max of approx 38mm. 1. To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the Height adjustment knob (10) approx 5–6 full turns, but do not remove. Push the knob fully towards the body of the edger and at the same time move the guide wheel arm across to the opposite side of the housing. 2. Raise or lower the arm to the desired position, and then pull the height adjusting knob outwards. Tighten the knob until all of the slack is taken out of the assembly. Check to ensure the guide wheel arm has located into one of the pre allocated positions and the head of the bolt securing the front wheel arm is sitting flat on the surface of the wheel arm. Firmly tighten the height adjustment knob. Operating Edging 1. Set the cut depth at 25mm and set edge guide to the down position. 2. The guard incorporates a raised rib section which acts as a blade cut indicator. This rib will assist in guiding the operator where the blade will cut. During operation the operator can sight down the rib of the guard to where the edge is to...
