Questions and Answers for BLACK+DECKER 7.5 in. 12 Amp Corded Electric 2-in-1 Lawn Edger & Trencher

A:  If the sod is planted, not loose, yes. It is for edging or trenching next to concrete.

A:  The edge guide is useful for cutting a straight path along sidewalks. For landscaping or trenching in the yard the edge guide can interfere with moving the edger through hard soil or sod. The edge guide can be adjusted so that the tool will also perform TRENCHING and LANDSCAPING operations. Ticket #4376063.

A:  I wouldn’t use this edger for cutting sod.  I use to edge my side walk and driveway.  Wheel can rest on concrete for support.  It does have sharp blade you can injure yourself.   Be careful.  

A:  I was able to cut through roots with a 1 1/2 depth to lay an invisible fence. I hope this helps.

A:  I don't believe the cutting depth is changed when converted to landscape trencher. By changing the setting, all you are doing is taking the edge-guide out of the way, so it does not drag

A:  Has three cutting depths. 1 in, 1.25 in and 1.5 in. Your choice to how deep you want to go. Works great.

A:  A google search says that GENERALLY the depth is between 3" and 5", but ranging between 1" to 24". With a brand new blade, set on the lowest setting, it will do approximately 1-1/2" to 1-3/4". The blade will dull/shorten the more rocks and concrete that you hit. hth

A:  Yes this unit would work for that application. The Maximum Cutting Depth (in.) = 1.5

A:  I would say yes. I trenched for flower beds and other things and it did a good job. 

A:  The part number for the extra blade is #EB-007 . Please contact us at 800-544-6986 if you are still having issues with your unit.

A:  I use a 100', 16ga cord to run mine. Seems to power it fine. Although, my first one let out the smoke after about three years. Might have been because of the voltage drop of the cord or not, I'm not sure. 

A:  I have to use a 50’ and a 25’ extension cord together to reach my whole front yard.

A:  Hello jerry Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. The maximum length of an extension cord for this edger is 150 feet for a 120v connection. The instruction manual will have a chart on the type of cord to purchase. Best Regards Sherri C BLACK + DECKER

A:  100 ft worked with mine but I used a very thick one rated high. Not a cheap $1 extension cord.

A:  I use a 100ft extension cord with mine

A:  50 ft

A:  I don't know the maximum length, but I use a 100' Cord and it works great!

A:  I used a 100' cord with no issues.

A:  I use 3 cords totaling 100 feet without any issues.  

A:  It appears to be hard plastic, but I'm not sure I've already boxed it up for return. It would be best to check it out in the store before purchase.

A:  Hi, The spindle and gear on the LE750 are metal. Thank you Deeris

A:  Hello DIYer Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. The edger can be used along side a paved surface. We do recommended reading all instructions and warnings in the instruction manual before attempting. Best Regards Sherri C BLACK + DECKER

A:  Works good along driveway,the only problem is to find extension cord long enough to reach the end of driveway if I had to do n over again I would have bought gas powered trimmer

A:  Yes, and it works great. Mike

A:  Mine is 4 years old and still OK. My neighbors have this same edger, one is 14 years old and except for wearing out the blade, still working OK. There must be a way that you can trace the wiring between the plug and the motor. Probably need an ohm meter to check for continuity.

A:  Great experience. I would just replace it with the same one if something went wrong.

A:  Please contact BLACK+DECKER at WECARE@sbdinc.com for warranty assistance.

A:  Mine is Still going Strong. Even with allowing new edgers lessons (including the number of times it ate the sidewalk!)

A:  Don't know what to say. Other than taking care not to overload it. I did not check to insure the depth gauge was secure. After a bit it started bogging down and I realized I was digging too deep. Corrected the prob and it cut a fine edge.

A:  No.

A:  It is not adjustable. The fixed length I can only assume keeps body parts as far away from the blade as ergonomically practical while providing the leverage to control it for edging and trenching.

A:  Yes, it moves 180 degrees.

A:  Handle is fixed at shown angle. It's an edger, not a trimmer. You would need another tool. Or place cardboard under trampoline to kill grass and mulch over.

A:  No, it won't work for what you describe. This item is an edger, generally used to cut/slice vertically along sidewalks and driveways for a neatly-edged look. You may be thinking more along the lines of a string trimmer for your task, or better, a small hand-held clipper.

A:  This is not like a mower that cuts grass. This is for cutting an edge next to your sidewalk or driveway.

A:  The handle doesn't adjust as you describe, but maybe you are looking at the wrong product. This an an edger, not a grass trimmer. It has a hard vertical blade. While it does tilt 45 degrees, I can't see how that would trim grass no matter what. If you want the grass all dug up, this might do it; it can be used a a shallow trencher. But unless you want to dig little 1 1 1/2" grooves in the grass, you need a line trimmer or something.
