26 DR ® TRIMMER/MOWER
Obstacle Tips
Dealing with obstacles in the terrain is easy with your new DR TRIMMER/MOWER. The following section
explains how to approach most common obstacles.
THE TRIMMER ENGINE'S POWER CAN EASILY THROW STONES, STICKS, AND OTHER DEBRIS AT GREAT
VELOCITY, WHICH COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE
MACHINE OVER GRAVEL DRIVEWAYS OR OVER LOOSE STONES OR MULCH WITH THE TRIMMER HEAD
SPINNING.
Tip: The DR TRIMMER/MOWER discharges cut material to the right. Always try to cut and trim with the
uncut tall grass or weeds on the left.
•
Always check your work area before trimming and remove any debris that might tangle or damage the
machine.
•
If you do run into debris and the trimmer becomes tangled, turn off the engine and disconnect the
spark plug wire before attempting to untangle the machine.
•
For the neatest appearance, do your trimming first, discharging clippings away from borders and
shrubs, then do your mowing.
•
Many owners like to mow easy, open areas with their regular riding or walk-behind mower and finish
trimming all the odd and hard-to-reach spots with the DR TRIMMER/MOWER (Figure 16).
