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.

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)
