OPERATING YOUR DR® TRIMMER/MOWER™ BEAVER BLADE®

This chapter covers the procedures for operating your new DR TRIMMER/MOWER BEAVER BLADE.

Note: We recommend using the aluminum Mow-Ball™ Support with the BEAVER BLADE. It will withstand the heat generated by heavy or continuous use better than the standard nylon Mow-Ball™ Support.

THE BEAVER BLADE IS DESIGNED TO CUT WOOD, BRUSH AND SMALL TREES ONLY! BEFORE USING YOUR BEAVER BLADE, ALWAYS INSPECT THE WORK AREA BEFORE STARTING WORK, AND REMOVE ANY ROCKS, STONES, GLASS, CANS, WIRE, METAL OF ANY KIND AND ANY OTHER FOREIGN OBJECTS IF POSSIBLE. AVOID THESE HAZARDS IF YOU'RE UNABLE TO REMOVE THEM.

Operation

1.Start your DR TRIMMER/MOWER as usual. Stand behind the handlebar in the normal operating position. DO NOT engage the trimmer head clutch until you are certain that no one is in the area of the machine.

DO NOT ENGAGE THE SELP PROPELLED TRIMMER WHEEL

DRIVE WHILE CUTTING BRUSH OR SAPLINGS. THE DRIVE

COULD FORCE THE BLADE INTO THE MATERIAL TOO FAST

AND CAUSE THE BLADE TO JAM.

2. Always look at the tree or sapling before you begin

cutting to judge the direction it will fall (See paragraph

 

Felling of Trees on next page). Let the trimmer get up

 

to full throttle before trying to cut with it.

 

3.Engage the trimmer head, balance the trimmer on the wheels to level the blade, and EASE the blade into the brush or saplings you wish to cut. Use the side of the blade to cut instead of heading straight into the trunk (Figure 2). DO NOT ram the blade into what you are cutting. Ramming could damage the blade and cause injury. When cutting small trees that cannot be cut in one bite, pull the blade back and cut again from the opposite side. (See paragraph Felling of Trees)

4.Turn off the engine and wait for the blade to stop turning BEFORE clearing cut debris out of the way.
