DEWALT Edger Attachment (DWOAS4ED)

I have two long pathways, one in the middle of star grass (Cynodon nlemfuensis) and one in the middle of st. augustine. I’ve been using it for edging both, recently installed and with bits of cement still stuck to the sides, for over 6 months. The edges are now clear along with a 1/4 perfectly clean gap between the grass and the concrete.To note: I only do this once a month, and both grasses are quite aggressive so they throw runners into the path. The only trick here is to be aggressive as well, and the 972 can definitely handle it. Set it on high and start the tool before plunging, then ride de border. The blades are MEANT to scratch the sides slightly and stay fairly dull, any sharpness would be killed in seconds so don’t bother. Run along the edge, THEN reverse at a slightly different angle to widen the gap just a tiny bit, this will also clean your line, especially if the soil has some moisture.Try to use it when the soil is relatively dry, else you’ll get some mud and compressed grass stuck in the cover, even more so if you don’t do the reverse thing after your first pass. If it does, get a stick or a piece or rebar, though wood would probably be better, and go at it from the back below the cover, cleans up quickly, then continue. The sound and vibration will tell you if there’s a clog in there way before the tool stops, so use the warning to clean it up and don’t wait for it to “go away on its own”
