4 DR® TRIMMER/MOWER™ BEAVER BLADE®
• ALWAYS shut off the engine and remove the spark plug wire(s) before adjusting the machine. If you
have to stop to remove grass or debris from the underside of the deck, ALWAYS disconnect the
spark plug wire(s) first.
• ALWAYS keep the BEAVER BLADE maintained and in good condition.
• DO NOT use a BEAVER BLADE that is bent, fractured, dulled or damaged in any way.
• ALWAYS keep the BEAVER BLADE teeth sharpened. A dull blade may lead to improper cutting
action, which could result in serious injury.
• ALWAYS replace the saw chain with that provided in the appropriate Chain Teeth Pak® only. Our
saw chains are pre-stretched to avoid loosening during use. Using a different saw chain may cause
unsafe operating conditions when installed on the BEAVER BLADE, and could result in serious
injury.
• When operating over uneven terrain and slopes, use EXTREME CAUTION to ensure solid and firm
footing.
• DO NOT pound the BEAVER BLADE into vegetation like an axe. Such use may seriously damage the
BEAVER BLADE and machine, and could result in serious injury.
• DO NOT cut anything except wood and other vegetation. Cutting into dirt, rocks, metal and other
materials could cause injury or damage to the operator and machine and will damage the blade
teeth.
• Use the machine only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Use extra caution when cutting in wet or slippery conditions.
• While using the DR TRIMMER/MOWER BEAVER BLADE, don't hurry or take things for granted.
When in doubt about the equipment or your surroundings, stop the machine and take the time to
look things over. Make sure that you have 100% control of the machine at all times.

TRIMMER/MOWER BEAVER BLADE.
