At first glance, operating a lawn edger might look complicated, but in reality, it’s a lot easier than it seems. In fact, it’s really no different than using a lawn mower. Simple place the edger at the start of the edge of your lawn, start it up, and start walking forward; if you’re using a manual edger, there’s no need to start it up, just walk. You can guide and maneuver the edger using the handle, just like you would a lawn mower. Once you get to the end of the edge, change the direction or stop. That’s really all there is to it!
