3. Edging Technique

For best results, hold the edger firmly with both hands. Position the edge guide along the desired line (e.g., sidewalk, driveway). Walk at a steady pace, allowing the blade to cut cleanly. Avoid forcing the tool, especially in thick grass or hard ground, as this can reduce battery life and strain the motor.
