Verify that the blade rotates freely and is securely mounted before returning the edger to service.
Important: Always verify your tool model, type number, and original part number before ordering. Inspect the blade washer whenever replacing the edger blade, and use genuine OEM DeWalt replacement components to ensure proper fit, secure blade retention, and safe operation.
