Assembly & Operating Instructions 17
There are two ways to adjust the height of the handlebar:
1. Loosen both of the adjustment knobs (Figure 29) and move the handlebar up or down as
needed. It's important that the adjustment is the same on both sides. Use the notches on the
adjusters to measure how many teeth you've moved away from the center. When you've
found a comfortable height, tighten the adjustment knobs securely.
2. For additional adjustment options, there are two holes in the upper and lower handlebars that
can be used to adjust the height. Most people start with the handlebars set in the lower holes
of both the upper and lower handlebar. You can adjust the height up or down by removing
the adjustment knob assembly and repositioning the handlebars to a higher or lower hole.
See page 5 for information on reassembling the handlebar adjuster knobs.
Obstacles
Many Owners like to mow easy, open
areas with their regular riding or walk-
behind mower, then they finish trimming
all the odd and hard-to-reach spots with
the DR

TRIMMER/MOWER ™ (Figure

discharges cut material to the right.
Always try to cut and trim with the uncut
tall grass or weeds on the left (Figure 32).

Suggestion: For the neatest
appearance, do your trimming first,
discharging clippings away from borders
and shrubs, then do your mowing.
·
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 gets tangled, turn off the
engine and disconnect the spark plug
wire before attempting to untangle the
machine.
·
DO NOT run the machine over gravel
driveways or over loose stones or
mulch with the trimmer head spinning.
The engine's power can easily throw
stones, sticks and other debris at great
velocity, which could cause personal
injury or property damage.
