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.
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).
WARNING! 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
