NOTE
For best results, use BRD redening blade (provided with unit)
ONLY for redening existing bed edges. For edging next to curbs,
sidewalks, or other hard surfaces, remove redening blade and
install ECHO Approved Premium Power Edger blade. Use of
redening blade next to hard surfaces, can lead to premature blade
wear.
1. Always grip throttle handle with right hand, and support handle
with left hand.
2. Before using Redener, check the area and remove objects that
could be thrown.
3. Carefully plan your direction of travel. Walk outside of bed. Be
aware of curbs or other obstacles.
4. Work with body turned toward engine as shown. Travel in direc-
tion of arrow, pulling rather than pushing unit. Carefully watch bed
edge and direction of travel. Do NOT walk backwards.
IMPORTANT
Do not walk towards gear case while operating unit with reden-
ing blade installed, otherwise poor performance or damage to unit
could occur.
5. When starting to work, run the engine at full throttle, and lower
the blade gently into the ground. Travel around perimeter of bed,
allowing the Redener to improve bed's edge.
6. Do not force the blade. Move only as quickly as conditions will al-
low. If performance suffers or engine RPM drops, reduce walking
speed or decrease blade depth and allow engine RPM to return to
normal before continuing.
NOTE
Blade height may need to be adjusted due to differences in height
between the bed and the top of the grass.
warning
Never adjust blade height while engine is running, otherwise seri-
ous personal injury may result.
7. Loosen adjustment knob (A) and adjust the blade’s depth of
cut. Tighten adjustment knob (A) when desired blade height is
achieved.
