ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your Little Wonder Pro Edger requires a minimal
amount of assembly prior to use.
1. Remove two nuts & bolts (key #’s 11 & 81), holding handle supports (key #’s 41 & 61) to lower
handle (key #44).
2. Align upper handle (key #77) with lower handle
(key #44) and replace the two nuts and bolts that
were removed in step one.
3. Use two bolts & nuts (Key # 80 & 11) in the
upper holes of the handles - now tighten all four
bolts.
4. Use a #10-32 x 1 1/4 screw and lock nut (key
#’s 82 & 83) to connect the upper adjusting rod (key
#64) to the lower adjusting rod (key #55).
5. Remove cotter pin and washer (key #’s 40 &
25) from belt slackener lever (key #71) and place
elongated loop of the draw bar (key #72) onto the
belt slackener lever. Place washer back on and
install cotter pin bending the legs once it is in place.
6. Remove the cotter pin (key #40) from the clevis
pin (key #60) and slide the clevis pin out of its hole.
Place the round hole of the draw bar (key #72)
between the two holes of the link belt slackener (key #43) and slide clevis pin back in place.
7. Replace cotter pin and bend the legs.
Fig. 1
8. Rotate the mud flap (key #38) out from under
the machine so that it is as far forward as possible
without touching the blade while the edger is in its
lowest position and the rubber flap is bent forward.
Tighten from underneath.
9. Place blade guard (key # 23) on cutter head
assembly (key # 15) as shown in fig. 2, and install
5/16 washers, lock washers, and screws (key #’s
25, 4 & 22). NOTE: The blade guard has slotted
holes for adjusting. Location of the blade guard
should be adjusted so that the bottom of the guard
just clears the ground while edging.
10. Remove 1/2 -20 nut (key # 16) and one washer
(key # 6), place blade (key # 17) on shaft, then reinstall washer and nut.

THROTTLE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the air filter cover from the engine.
2. Use a 10mm socket to loosen the throttle lever pivot
nut.
3. Move the remote throttle lever all the way to slow
(turtle) position. Move it 1/16” - 1/8” back towards the fast
(rabbit) position.
4. Move the engine throttle lever to the slow position
(push throttle lever to the front of the edger).
5. Remove the throttle cable retaining clamp and
screw from the engine.
6. Insert the end of the throttle cable into the hole on the
engine throttle lever.
7. Place the cable-retaining clamp over the cable, insert
the screw in and pull back and tighten.
8. Replace the air filter cover.
9. The remote throttle lever should move from slow
to fast and be approximately centered in its slot.
10. If the throttle feels tight, loosen the engine throttle
lever pivot nut.
11. If the throttle does not stay where it is placed, tighten
the remote throttle lever pivot nut (key # 63).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
A. BEFORE STARTING
DANGER
ALL LITTLE WONDER EDGERS ARE SHIPPED
WITHOUT OIL. WHEN FILLING OIL- USE SAE
30 OIL. REFER TO ENGINE MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR PROPER ENGINE
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Place Edger on level surface; be sure blade is not
obstructed and the area is clear and free of bystanders.
2. Check oil level, and be sure crankcase is filled with oil.
3. Fill gas tank with fresh gas. Do not mix gas with oil.
NOTE: Refer to the engine Operating and Maintenance
Instructions for recommended grades of oil and gas.
E.OPERATING
4 For easier starting, remove belt tension by pulling up
the belt slackener lever (P/N 167-2).
1. Eye protection must be worn at all times. Use common
sense and exercise caution at all times when operating
your Edger.
1. For easier starting, remove belt tension by pulling up
the belt slackener lever (P/N 167-2).
2. Operate in a safe manner. When edging, the potential exists for thrown objects which can cause injury
(i.e.) from rocks, cement, pieces of steel, glass, etc. These
obstructions should be avoided at all times.
2. Prior to starting the engine, secure and hold the edger
handle with your left hand.
3. Never leave the machine when the engine is running,
particularly on hills where the unit might roll.
3. Refer to your Engine Operator/Owner Manual for
Engine Starting Instructions.
4. Setting depth of blade. (1) Place left hand on upper
handle. (2) Grasp lever, P/N 228, with right hand and pull
to the right, which disengages lever from rachet segment
on handle. Move lever forward or backward along rachet
segment and insert key on lever into notch on rachet at
the desired depth. Moving lever forward decreases depth
of cut, moving lever backward increases depth of cut.
B. STARTING PROCEDURE
4. Once the engine starts, set the throttle control lever to
desired speed.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking than a cold
engine.
C. STOP PROCEDURE
1. Pull throttle lever towards you to STOP position.
2. Turn engine switch to OFF position.
6. Engine speed - The engine speed should be kept
to the minimum consistent with the job at hand. Speeds
higher than necessary will only cause undue wear and
tear. A speed half-way between “fast” and “slow” is
normally adequate. Tougher jobs may require higher
speeds.
7. Little Wonder Edgers provide the finishing touch. They
edge at any angle along flower beds, terraces, sidewalks
and curbs. They trim along buildings, trees, walks, marker
hedges and fences with ease and reliability.
D. CAUTION
1. Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine.
8. Edging - The blade should be perpendicular to the ground or sidewalk. The cutting depth should be sufficient to cut away the root system, usually 1” to 1
1/2” deep. Along flush sidewalks or driveways, it is easier
to place the wheels on the sidewalk or driveway rather
than the grass. The hardened tool steel blade, P/N 129,
becomes its own guide if it is permitted to rub against the
side or edge of the sidewalk or driveway. Angles other
than vertical my be desirable when edging flower beds,
walls, posts, etc. When edging along a curve, the rear
wheels should be held off the ground so the machine may
be maneuvered “wheelbarrow fashion.”
2. If the product vibrates abnormally, immediately stop
the engine and check for the cause. Vibration is generally
a warning sign of trouble.
3. Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating
position; disconnect the spark plug lead wire before
unclogging the unit, when making a repair, adjustment,
inspection or the like.
4. Operate machine from position where guards block
the line of sight to the cutting member.
8
USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
WARNING: The engine on your Pro Honda Edger
is not equipped with a spark arrester and if machine
is to be used on any forest-covered, brush-covered,
or grass-covered unimproved land, before using on
such land a spark arrester must be added to the
muffler. The arrester must be maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the State of
California, the above is required by law (Section
4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws
apply on federal lands. See your Authorized Honda
Service Center for spark arrester muffler options.
2. Never store the machine filled with fuel inside a building or in a confined space where fumes may be susceptible to sparks or an open flame.
3. Refer to the instructions manual for important details if
the product is to be stored for an extended period of time.
4. Check the tightness of the blade nut prior to each use.
5. Prior to each use, lubricate cutter head shaft (P/N
131A), cutter head bracket (P/N l00C), and key (P/N 138)
at slip rotation points every 8 hours
6. Prior to each use, check to see that set screws on pulley are tight, and guards are in place.
NOTE: The belt guard is vital to the proper operation of
the edger. The belt guard is not just a safety feature!
NOTE: The belt guard is an important safety feature and is
vital to the proper operation of the edger.
Fig. 5
Loose set screws can cause damage to shaft and pulley.
Improper maintenance will void warranty.
