How do you use a manual lawn edger

I bought one of these at an auction. It looks almost the same as thisphoto. ran it down the edge of my sidewalk. The points of the star shapedwheel cuts into the ground along the edge of the walk, but dont seem tocut the grass too well. However the dirt tends to overlap the sidewalk.Every year I have used a flat shovel and just dug away the excess dirtalong the walk. This edger seems to cut into the dirt, but I still haveto use a shovel to remove the dirt from the walk. This is the first time I ever used one of these, so I'm not sure whatit's supposed to do or how to use it. Searching the web got me thisphoto, but little information about how to use it. Seems most of themsold are gas or electric powered these days. With only a 15 footsidewalk, I sure dont need anything powered. The old shovel methodalways worked pretty well anyhow, but I paid a buck for this used edgerat the auction, just to try it out. Now if only I could figure out howit's supposed to work.....Thanks
