Trimming and Mowing Methods
Note: The cutting cords cut one to two inches
outside of the wheel width.
Many owners like to mow easy, open areas
with their regular riding or walk-behind
mower, then finish trimming all the odd and
hard-to-reach spots with the DR
®
TRIMMER/MOWER
™
.
The DR

discharges
cut material to the right. Always try to cut
and trim with the uncut tall grass or weeds at
the left
(Figure 16) .

Suggestion: For the neatest
appearance, do your trimming first,
discharging clippings away from borders and shrubs, then do your mowing.
Obstacles
·
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 it.
·
DO NOT run the machine over gravel driveways or over loose stones or mulches with the
trimmer head spinning. The machine's power can easily throw stones, sticks and other debris at
great velocity, which could cause personal injury or property damage.
Mow-Ball
™
Support
Allow the front end of the machine to rest lightly on the Mow-Ball
™
Support as you are trimming.
The Mow-Ball
™
Support should glide on the ground as you maneuver the machine.
In order to achieve the best and smoothest cut, do not lift up on the handlebar while operating your
DR
®
TRIMMER/MOWER
™
. Lifting the handlebar causes weight to be forced down on the Mow-
Ball
™
Support. This uses more energy, slows down the cutting, and produces a less than satisfactory
cut. Ideally, the Mow-Ball
™
Support should rest lightly on the ground while the wheels balance
most of the weight of the machine. If needed, use slight downward pressure on the handlebar to
prevent the Mow-Ball
™
Support from digging into the ground.
Cutting Cords
The best trimming performance will usually come from using the smallest diameter cord that is still
capable of cutting the material at hand, combined with the fastest engine speed. When more power
is needed for thicker growth such as berry canes, brambles, thistles or ragweed, you may want to use
the Extra Heavy-Duty Green (155 mil) cord in combination with the highest engine speed.
