All Operators Must Read These

Instructions Before Use

Always follow these safety guidelines. Failure to do so may

result in serious bodily injury or death.

General Safety

mWARNING! When using the electric edger + trencher,

basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury. These

include:

Work Area Safety

1. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Cluttered, dark

areas invite accidents.

2. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away – All

spectators, including pets, should be kept a safe distance

away from the work area.

3. Do not operate the electric edger + trencher in

explosive atmospheres – Such as in the presence of

They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves,

long pants and substantial, non-skid footwear are

recommended when working outdoors. Do not go

barefoot or wear sandals. Wear protective hair covering to

contain long hair.

3. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry plugged-in

tool with nger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is o

before plugging in the tool.

4. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

5. Use personal protective equipment – Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dusk mask, non-

skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Tool Use and Care

mWARNING! Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades or

cutting edges when picking up or holding the appliance.

1. Do not force the tool – It will perform better with less

likelihood of personal or mechanical injury if it is used at

the rate for which it was designed.

2. Keep children and bystanders away – Children and

other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least

50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area.

3. Use safety glasses and other safety equipment –

Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields,

complying with applicable safety standards and, when

needed, a face shield. Also use face or dust mask if

operation is dusty. This applies to all persons in the work

area. Also use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves,

safety shoes and dust collection systems when specied

or required.

4. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job except

that for which they are intended.

5. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should

be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out

of the reach of children.

6. Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the tool by the cord

or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

7. Do not force the tool – It will do the job better and with

less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it

was designed.

8. Disconnect the tool – Disconnect the appliance from the

power supply when not in use, before servicing, and when

changing accessories such as blades and the like.

9. Maintain tools with care – Keep cutting edge clean for

best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Inspect appliance cord periodically and if damaged, have

it repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension

cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles

dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

10. Check for damaged parts – Before further use of the

appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions

that may aect its operation. A guard or other part that

is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by

an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated

elsewhere in this manual.

11. Use of accessories and attachments – The use of any

accessory or attachment not recommended for use with

this appliance could be hazardous. Note: Refer to the

accessory section of this manual for further details.

Additional Warnings for Edger + Trencher

1. Keep guard in place.

mDANGER! Risk of injury. Keep hands and feet away

from blade and cutting area.

Important Warning:

When using the edger + trencher, stones, pieces of metal

and other objects can be thrown out at high speed by the

blade. The tool and guard are designed to reduce the danger.

However, the following special precautions should be taken:

1. Wear safety glasses or other eye protection, gloves, long

pants and substantial footwear.

2. Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100 ft.

(30.5 m) away.

3. Always stand to left side of main handle.

4. Before Landscaping or Trenching, check for buried

electrical cables.

5. To reduce the risk of rebound (ricochet) injury, work going

away from any nearby solid object such as a wall, steps,

large stone, tree, etc. Use great care when working close

to solid objects or into the wind, and, where necessary, do

edging or trimming by hand.

Electrical Safety

1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should

be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for

this electric edger + trencher. Receptacles are available

having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this

measure of safety.

2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a

polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use

this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or ETL-

listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,

all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®

SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension cord with lighted

end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit sunjoe.com to purchase

this extension cord online or, to order by phone, call

1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

The appliance plug will t into a polarized extension

cord only one way. If the appliance plug does not t

fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug

still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension

cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a

polarized wall outlet. The extension cord plug will t into

the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does

not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug

still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install

the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug,

extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any

way.

3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,

STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

Before use, check that the extension cord is in good

condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to

use one heavy enough to carry the current your product

will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Operation

Cutting Depth Adjustment

The front guide wheel can be adjusted to allow a deeper or

shallower cut, and to increase the life of the blade. The edger

can be adjusted to edge at three dierent depths.

mDANGER! Risk of personal injury. Never attempt to

adjust the depth while the edger is running. Always unplug

edger before making any adjustments.

1. To adjust the depth of the cut, loosen the height

adjustment knob on the front of the edger + trencher

(Fig. 5).

2. Push front guide wheel to the left, then raise or lower the

arm to the desired depth setting (Fig.6).

3. Push in the front guide wheel arm, check to ensure the

front guide wheel arm has located into any of the pre-

allocated positions. Ensure the head of the bolt securing

the front guide wheel arm is resting at on the surface of

Cord Routing

• Always keep the extension cord away from the area being

edged. Make sure the extension cord is behind the edger.

• If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it immediately. After

cord is unplugged, inspect it for damage and replace cord if

necessary.

Starting + Stopping

The electric edger + trencher is tted with a safety lock button

and a trigger switch to prevent accidental operation of the tool.

mCAUTION! The edger + trencher blade coasts after the

unit is turned o. Keep hands away from blade.

1. Before you start the unit, tilt the edger + trencher on back

wheel to ensure blade is not in contact with the work

surface.

2. Hold the edger + trencher rmly with both hands before

turning on.

3. To turn the edger + trencher ON, press and hold the safety

lock button with your thumb, then squeeze the ON/OFF

trigger switch with your ngers. Once the machine powers

on, you can release the safety button and proceed with

operation (Fig. 10).

4. To switch OFF, release the ON/OFF trigger switch (Fig. 10).

mCAUTION! Do not force the trigger switch without rst

pressing the safety lock button.

mCAUTION! Do not tie or jam the trigger switch in the ON

position. The trigger switch is designed to be held in the ON

position by your hand only.

mWARNING! Take care when you turn the edger +

trencher ON that the cutter is in a safe position to operate.

NOTE: When a switch is released, a short spark may appear

from the engine. This is normal, and not a cause for concern.

The spark is caused by the braking system that is built into the

product.

mCAUTION! If the edger + trencher becomes jammed or

stalled on a branch, sticks, or other foreign object, release the

trigger immediately. Failure to stop the unit when the unit jams

may cause excessive damage to the unit’s motor. Always wear

eye protection when using the unit.

Edging Techniques

NOTE: The edger + trencher is a major appliance and should

not be operated simultaneously with other major appliances on

the same household circuit.

mCAUTION! Make sure that other persons and pets are

at least 100 ft (30.5 m) away.

mWARNING! Do not use the edger + trencher on wet

growth or in the rain.

mCAUTION! To prevent injury, keep hands away from

trigger when clearing jams. To prevent injury, do not use the

edger + trencher with any damaged parts.

1. Set cutting depth. Refer to Cut Depth Adjustment

instructions on v 7.

2. To avoid kickback of the edger, tilt the handle down so the

blade is above the ground.

3. Turn switch on and allow blade to spin without moving the

tool.

4. Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade. Then, begin to

move tool forward slowly, being careful not to strike the

edge of the paved surface.

For the rst edging each season, it is best to move forward

slowly because grass is thickest then. Subsequent edging will

be completed more rapidly.

If the tool slows down, back it up slightly until the blade

returns to normal speed. During edging some sparks may be

generated from hitting stones, this is normal. Do not attempt

to edge when the grass or soil is wet or moist - for electrical

safety and to prevent clogging of the blade chamber.

mWARNING! If you must edge under conditions that

cause the blade chamber to become clogged, release trigger,

and wait for blade to come to complete stop! Unplug the

tool and remove clogged material with a stick. To continue to

operate the tool in a clogged condition will seriously overload

the motor.

mCAUTION! Do not attempt to unclog the blade chamber

by dropping or tapping the tool on the ground. This can

damage the unit. Keep hands clear of

and blade when cleaning as these wear to a very sharp point

during edging.

Landscaping + Trenching

Before landscaping or trenching, inspect and ensure there are

no exposed or buried cables or pipes or other objects that may

create a hazard or interfere with operating the edger.

Set depth to only that required for the job, do not overload, if

tool slows, pull back slightly and wait until the blade returns to

normal speed.

Application

Changing the Blade

mWARNING! Prior to attempting to perform any

maintenance which includes the changing of the blade, ensure

the power supply cord has been totally disconnected from the

main supply.

mWARNING! Wait for blade to come to complete stop!

Position the edger + trencher on its side with the blade

upwards. Ensure the surface you are working on is clean and

foreign particles (stones, etc.) cannot enter the air intake slots

of the motor housing.

1. Place the large ange spanner over the outer blade ange

(Fig. 11).

2. Fit the blade spanner over the blade lock nut and while

holding rmly the spanner on the blade ange, rotate the

locking nut in counterclockwise direction (Fig. 11).

3. Remove the lock nut counterclockwise along with the

outer ange and blade (Fig. 11).

4. There is no need to remove the inner ange, although on

reassembly the area of the inner ange must be free of

foreign particles (dirt, etc.).

5. To reassemble with a new blade t the inner ange on to

the spindle, t the replacement blade and secure the outer

ange on to the spindle and blade (Fig. 12).

6. Ensure the assembly is correct and the blade is correctly

orientated (Fig. 12).

7. With the spanner tted to the outer ange, t the locking

nut and tighten with the blade spanner in a clockwise

direction (Fig. 13).

8. After the blade is secure, rotate the blade by hand

to ensure the blade is not making contact with any

components of the edger.

9. Blade wear is expected whenever you use your edger.

10. The blade wears quite quickly when edging along concrete

paths. This does not aect the eciency of the edger and

is expected due to the aggressive abrasion of concrete on

steel.

NOTE: To increase blade life, keep initial cutting depth at

minimum and increase depth setting as blade wears.
