Once I cut down thru sod, how do I get it pulled loose from ground?

I use the edger to make a vertical cut straight down, all along the edge of the bed, and then follow up by using a pointed shovel to dig a roughly 45-degree cut on the inside of the edge of the bed (about 4-6" away) to where the vertical cut is. Then I dig out the sod or dirt from the trench I've created and haul it away. Mulch the bed and fill the trench with mulch too, and you have a clean edge on a nicely-mulched bed. This blog post (not mine) has a good explanation: http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2012/07/how-to-edge-flower-beds-like-pro.html (I use wood chip mulch to keep down weeds instead of leaving the edge uncovered (nature abhors a vacuum and will soon cover the dirt with weeds). Hope this helps -- the Radius edger works pretty well for me too, in case you were wondering.

I simply wiggle the tool from side to side while pulling it out of the ground.

Just twist a bit and lift it off. It may be hot, be careful. Come with a hook for lifting.

Twist the top off while pulling up. Simultaneously pull the bottom down with the other hand. It's tight, but unless you got one that was maybe squashed it shouldn't require a hammer.

Wasn't sure if this needed clarification, but inside each handle should be two metal grommets--one that is already crimped at the end of the rope, and a second "loose" one which is not crimped. Crimp the loose one at the desired location and cut off any excess rope. The loose grommet may be stuck in the handle, so give it a good shake if nothing's coming out.

I've just grasped it firmly right next to the joins and pulled gently but firmly. I didn't pull hard but did do light tugging. I also will gently twist it while pulling it apart as that helps break any suction that might be holding it tight.

Pull behind. The handle likes to fall down. I would like it to be locked in place so when you let go of it that it's still in the position I left it.

If you are strong enough, you could pull it back with your hands. I suggest getting the cocking device. It makes it so much easier.

There is a draw string sewn into the hem around the bottom (floor) that you can pull tight and secure that way. I would also us a bungee cord around the whole thing at the center for extra protection when severe winds are expected. There are no loops sown in to attach to ground stakes, etc. it's a good heavy product which I would buy again. Good luck, CTG

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

Just pull. It is a "friction" type sheath - perhaps yours is just tight, or maybe there's a bit of glue or something there. Be careful - it's sharp.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

There are 2 stakes that are included to hold the back down. I found using those is worked well as long as your pulling straight out.

Lay it on ground a little while so it will dry. Do not leave on grassy area more than 15 minutes in extreme heat or it will kill the grass. Fold outer most edge in the first seam to the next seam (they are typically 2 feet apart). Do this over and over till completely done. Roll it from one end to the other in a tight roll and tie with rope. This is definitely a 2-person task.

Use a scissors and pry it out. Be careful not to cut yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDr7-7NAblY

Just start in an inconspicuous place. Down low.? Make it wrap around diagonally. Keep it about a little over an inch apart. Make full circle. Tie it off back at your start. Don't pull too hard on string wrap. It breaks easy.

I cut it with a sharp pair of scissors, then melt the ends with a lighter. Melting the ends will keep it from coming apart.

Carefully. Hot water helps but it really is just a matter of catching an edge and working it out. A small flat blade screwdriver goes a long way to get under it and to lift it. Any small pieces that get left behind in some of the small nooks and cranny's can just be left.
