how do you easily switch to edger mode

The switch can be done under 30 seconds. Put your foot on the guard and push down on the handle. (to get it flat) Change the shaft heighth to long (if you are tall you don't have to do this step) and change the handle and you are onto edging.

as i recall you just flip the metal wire guard into it's own space underneath and flip the entire head. this reveals the wheels which makes it so easy to edge. i am down at our vacation home so cannot double check but it is super easy and designed for doing this. i usually just leave mine in edger mode. one regular battery allows me to edge around pool sidewalks and long driveway on a 2 acre lot. once you use this as edger you will never use anything else!

Only thing I can think of is revert back to user manual. if you don't have you can always find it online somewhere. Sorry, i couldn't be of more help.

No separate "edging tool". The inset wheel position "offers closer side edging", means you cut grass close to where the wheels travel and not, as on some other reel mowers, about 3 inches inboard of the wheels.

Hey Tom, if you haven't seen it yet, here is a you tube video that shows you how to switch modes. Hope it helps. Bubba Earl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQsRdH8IP_0

the switch is another ring inside the slice thickness adjustment. there is a little notch that you rotate down to turn on and back up to turn off.

Unfortunately, the head does not flip for edging; but the device is light enough to turn it in such a way to allow you to use it as an edger. I have done this and it works very well, especially with its very fast-running engine slicing through the thickest clump of curb over growth.

You can make it any mode you want by going in to settings and selecting what you want!

How easy or difficult is it to change from trimmer to edger and back again? Would you purchase this product if you were a person of slight build and very short with moderate strength. If not, does Greenworks have another product you have used previously or have knowledge of?

You change the the setting with a small screwdriver. It makes a noticeable click between settings.

There's a section in the admin web site that lets you do that. I have not tried it yet, but the instructions seem simple enough.

Just look up the hard drive caddy with your edge part number, i.e. edge e420 and see what comes up in the amazon search.

Oh yes. Once you figure out which setting works for each of you... I personally just marked each spot with a black marker, and now can switch very easily.Just move from one marked hole to the other, depending on which of us is using the machine.

I'm too late for the original inquiry, but I hope my experience helps others... I use my Yardstick almost entirely for edging. I very much like the "idler wheel" which supports the unit on the edge of a pathway or sidewalk; this makes it easy to get a sharp edge. Generally, the unit works very well, but you have to take two precautions. First, it is not an earth-moving tool! If you do not already have a well-formed edge, don't attempt to use the Yardstick to cut one. You will use a lot of line and spend much time waiting for the unit to recharge. Form the edge first with a D-edger or a spade, removing surplus soil, stones and vegetation, and then use the Yardstick to maintain it. Second, advance the line frequently, by hand. This is very simple - just press the end cap and pull out the line. If you do this every 30 feet or so you will not have trouble with the line snapping, forcing you to dismantle the head. Reviewers seem all over the place with this product, but personally I have been very pleased with mine. In fact, as the battery finally seems to be failing I'm about to order a replacement unit. One other warning: make sure that the unit really is charging. If the charger light is green when you put the unit back on its mount, it probably means that it is not fully plugged in and won't charge. Make sure the light turns to red - that may require wriggling the unit so that it is not vertical, which is a bit counter-intuitive!
