SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE
The Trimmer Head
won’t spin or lacks
power.
The Belt may be worn or frayed; if so, replace it.

(376-9637) for assistance.
The cutting Cords are
difficult to install.
A piece of Cord or debris may still be lodged in the Quick Lock mechanism.
The Cord is too large. Use the recommended DR Power Equipment .095" Cord in the Trimmer.
The cutting Cords are
breaking.
The Cords may be too dry. Store Cords in a plastic bag with a damp sponge or cloth to make
them less prone to breaking or soak them in a bucket of water for a few days.
You may be trying to do too much too fast. Ease into the material you are cutting; let the Cord
tips do the work. Take small bites of tall or tough vegetation. Cut half a swath at a time, keeping
the cut area to the discharge or right side of the Trimmer. Go over tall material twice, the first
time with the Trimmer Head tilted up and back; the second time with the Mow-Ball
®
on the
ground.
Make sure that you are not hitting the Cords against a stone or a chain-link fence. The Cords
won’t last as long against obstacles as in the open. Work on controlling the cutting pattern.
With practice, you’ll learn to cut closer to obstacles without hitting them.

(376-9637) for assistance.
The Mow-Ball
®
is
wearing too quickly.
You may be pushing the Trimmer Head down into the ground. The DR PULSE
TRIMMER/MOWER works best with a light touch, with the Mow-Ball
®
resting easily on the
ground or slightly raised.
You may be hitting the Mow-Ball
®
against rocks, concrete driveways, or other hard obstacles.
Try approaching them slowly, and from different directions, to avoid unnecessary wear.
