Is there a guide to keep the edger in line with the sidewalk or curb

According to the gentleman who uses this edger in my yard.....no, there is no guide to keep the edger in line with the sidewalk or curb.

There's no guide but if you're on a straight cut and deep enough you can guide yourself with the blade. It cuts in a straight line better with the front wheels separated.

As you run the edger along the curb the blade will "rub" the edge of the curb making that sound of contact with the curb, just enough to let you know you are on its edge as you should be, but not too much that sparks are visible. Running too close to the curb will kill the blade. Also the blade should be at a depth low enough that it won't walk out of that grove and go onto the top side of the sidewalk.

the middle of the shaft has a adjustment the black area turn it to loosen the bottom half of the shaft and it will be ready for edgeing. retighten it and your ready to go.

You don't use it up-side down...It adjusts to the angle that you need in order to do curbs.

There is no safety latch, but the ramp is quite heavy. Just offhand, I'd think that making the street the more secure anchor (hacking the ice) would be the safer choice if there's a chance of slippage. You could lodge the top side of the ramp against the jamb and control the bottom by straddling with your feet. I think you should be okay. Good luck!

From the pictures, it looks like there are definitely edges around the shelves. You might want to try the Trinity Utility cart, there are no edges on that one.

I never even thought about that. I've already installed mine and from what I can remember, it is symmetrical so it doesn't matter which side faces the mulch. Hover, it comes rolled up and has natural curve so you want to lay it to maintain the curve rather than bend it the opposite way from the curve. As a result, you don't have a choice which side faces the mulch and which side faces the grass - it depends on which one is on the "inside" of the curve of the edging. I suggest that you leave it in the sun to warm up so that way it is then easier to unroll.

I bought mine on Amazon together with this edger. don't know about other stores.

Yes, with the plastic blade cover attached you could use a straight edge as a guide.

Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know. Was debating between this and the half-moon edger.

Rent a gas edger, you won't have a problem. I had one when I owned a house, it's the way to go. You can keep adjusting to go down further and lock in.

There is a little tab on the side that fits under a tab on the purple main block. It holds the ramp down so it lines up and cars don't stick.

Hi Johnathan, I think the best way to do what you want to do is to use a flush cutting bit adjusted to be about the thickness of a sheet of paper away from the plywood for the final pass. Adding a larger base made from masonite or plexiglass could help prevent "dig in" of the bit as you approach the edge. After the last pass with the router, carefully sand the edging flush with the plywood.

No cornering. You have to remove the unit at the corner and set it onto the next side. Does a nice job and amuses the neighbor's kids.

I just purchased the Worx GT unit and love the way it edges my driveway and sidewalk. It cuts a sharp thin line about half an inch below the concrete edge and does not kick up a lot of dirt or grass clippings. It takes a little getting used to before you find the sweet spot for best results. I don't use my Sears gas powered edger anymore. Guess I'll try and sell it at the next garage sale.

It has a metal guide bar that hangs down and goes between the yard and the sidewalk. I keep just a little bit of sideways pressure on it to keep it against the concrete and it cuts a straight edge every time.

I sometimes store it on its edge up against a wall and between the deck rail and the wall. This only partly works for me, as the part that isn't wedged tends to bend. So I would say if you have a well supported place for it to be, that you could store it on its edge, but it should be supported in at least 2 places, or more.
