Cutting Cords
WARNING: Turn the engine off when
installing or changing cutting cords.
Two thicknesses of cutting cord ship with your
DR

TRIMMER/MOWER ™ : Heavy-duty (130
mil) Orange and Extra Heavy-duty (155 mil)
Green. Figure 15 shows how the cords are
installed at the factory. Notice how the cords
are installed before you replace them.
Note: Before trimming, always spin new cords
for a few seconds so they pull tight and set.
Because conditions and vegetation vary so
much, experiment with various combinations
of cord weight and installation methods in
order to discover what works best for your
particular mowing and trimming situations.
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
·
If you buy cutting cord in rolls, cut it in 21" lengths.
·
Store your cutting cord in a plastic bag with a damp sponge or rag. This will help retain moisture
and keep the cords more pliable.
Please see page 15 for additional cutting cord installation methods and tips for getting the best
performance from your cutting cord.
