Background
The Craftsman Edger 536.797561 is a versatile landscaping tool manufactured by Western Tool & Stamping for Sears. Its main function is to create clean lines of delineation between different sections of a yard or garden, such as between a lawn and a sidewalk, or between a flower bed and a lawn. This tool features a 3.0 horsepower, four-cycle engine and a nine-inch blade, making it suited for various edging and trimming tasks.
The edger has several controls for operation, including a throttle control for managing engine speed, a choke control for starting the engine, and a clutch lever that starts and stops the blade and controls the depth of cut. The index lever allows adjustment from edging to trimming modes, and the blade guard helps prevent stones or other materials from being thrown at the operator. Additionally, the front wheel and right rear wheel are adjustable, providing balance and facilitating curb-hopping when edging along a curb.
