OREGON® Cordless Tool System

TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275

INTRODUCTION

This trimmer/edger is designed for regular maintenance trimming of grass and weeds using flexible nylon trimmer line. It is not designed to clear heavy brush or for use with any metal cutting attachments. Any other use other than stated is not recommended. This product has been designed in accordance with the state of the art safety technology of the time. However, even with this technology, it is recognised that residual risk, such as thrown objects, still exist. The operator is directed to closely read, understand, and follow all safety precautions to reduce potential injury from these risks.

SAFETY RULES

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY WARNINGS

AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS

AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN THE WARNINGS REFERS TO YOUR MAINS-OPERATED (CORDED) POWER TOOL OR BATTERY OPERATED (CORDLESS) POWER TOOL.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may

ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

CAUTION: ESTABLISH A BYSTANDER SAFETY ZONE OF 6 M 20 FT PRIOR TO OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT. Bystander safety zone

is a 6 m (20 ft) circle around the operator that must remain free from bystanders, children, and pets.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

AB 0214 - F/N 564571

Page 8

OREGON® Cordless Tool System TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275

SAFETY RULES

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Use of a RCD (GFCI) reduces the risk of

electric shock.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the trimmer may contact hidden wiring.

Power tools contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear long pants and foot protection.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Prolonged use of power tools has been reported to cause vascular, muscular, or neurological disorders (such as vibration white finger or Raynaud’s syndrome). To reduce the risk of injury,

follow these instructions:

– Wear gloves and keep hands and body

warm.

– Maintain a firm grip on the trimmer/

edger, but do not use prolonged, excessive pressure.

– Take frequent breaks.

The vibration in normal use can differ from the values stated in the “Specifications and Components” table depending on the material being cut, maintenance of the cutting system, and other factors.

SAFETY RULES

OREGON® Cordless Tool System

TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush

with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

GENERAL OPERATION

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, ALWAYS WEAR PROPER EYE AND EAR PROTECTION, LONG PANTS, AND FOOT PROTECTION.

IMPORTANT: USE CARE AROUND STRUCTURES, TREES, AND BUSHES TO AVOID DAMAGING PAINT OR BARK.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

This trimmer/edger is designed to operate within a temperature range of °C to °C (°F to °F).

GRIP

The front handle on the trimmer/edger handle is adjustable. You can move the handle forward or backward along the shaft until it is in a comfortable position for trimming, clearing, or edging.

Loosen the adjustment knob until the front handle slides along the shaft, move the handle to a comfortable position, and then tighten the adjustment knob (Fig. ).

FOOTING

Stand or walk with both feet on solid ground. Do not overreach.

STOPPING THE TRIMMER/EDGER

Release the throttle trigger to stop the trimmer/edger.

STARTING THE TRIMMER/EDGER

OREGON® Cordless Tool System TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275

OPERATING THE TRIMMER/EDGER

CONTROLLING TRIMMER HEAD SPEED

The throttle trigger controls the speed at which the trimmer head turns. Squeeze the throttle trigger more firmly for faster cutting speed.

Use the lowest pressure required to cut the material. This helps to maximise the amount of cutting time per battery charge and reduces the number of charging operations required.

ADVANCING TRIMMER LINE

The trimmer line wears down as you use the trimmer/edger. Let out more trimmer line as needed.

With the motor running and the trimmer head turning, bump the trimmer head on the ground (Fig. ). More trimmer line comes out of the spool, and excess trimmer line is cut off by the line cutting blade on the bottom of the guard.

FIG. 15

TRIMMING

Trimming cuts grass and weeds that are close to walls, fences, and other areas too small to reach with a lawn mower, down to a manageable height but not down to soil level.

Assume proper grip and stance, then start the trimmer. Squeeze the throttle trigger until the trimmer head achieves the minimum speed necessary to cut the grass or weeds.

Angle the trimmer head slightly toward the direction of the cut (Fig. ).

FIG. 16

If the trimmer line does not come out, the spool may be empty. Turn off the trimmer/edger and replace trimmer line as described in “Replacing trimmer line”.

AB 0214 - F/N 564571

510°

Push the trimmer head slowly from the side into the grass or weeds to be cut, and move the trimmer head back and forth so that the end of the trimmer line contacts the material to be cut.

Do not allow the trimmer line to touch the ground.

TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275

EDGING

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, KEEP THE GUARD BETWEEN THE OPERATOR AND THE TRIMMER HEAD.

Edging maintains an existing border between a lawn and another object such as a sidewalk, pavement, or flower bed. The trimmer/edger is not designed for creating a new hard edge, but is useful for keeping an existing edge clean.

Keep hands away from the throttle trigger, then move the edging guard so that it extends from the trimmer and clicks into place.

Approach the lawn with the trimmer turned so that the bottom of the trimmer head is pointed toward the side of the lawn and the edging guide is pointed toward the ground. Position the edge guide along the edge of the lawn. (Fig. ).

FIG. 17

In tight spaces, such as against a fence or other barrier, it is acceptable to reverse grip on the rear handle and hold the trimmer/edger in a more vertical position (Fig. ).

FIG. 18

For extended periods of edging, it is acceptable to rotate the front handle (Fig. ). This may provide a more comfortable grip.

CORRECTING GRASS BIND

CAUTION: A BATTERY OPERATED TOOL WITH THE BATTERY PACK INSERTED IS ALWAYS ON AND CAN START ACCIDENTALLY. ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY BEFORE CORRECTING GRASS BIND TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION OF THE TRIMMER HEAD.

Certain types and lengths of grass can sometimes be caught between the trimmer head and the spindle. When this happens, the grass quickly winds around the shaft clogging the space between the shaft and the trimmer head and slowing or stopping the trimmer head rotation. This condition is called grass bind. The trimmer/edger is equipped with a grass wrap protector shroud between the trimmer head and the spindle to help minimize grass bind, but the condition can still occasionally occur.

To correct grass bind:

• Remove the battery.

• Remove the trimmer head.

• Clean all grass or weeds from the

spindle. If necessary, cut the grass or weeds free.

• Once the spindle is cleared, replace the

trimmer head.

BATTERY PACK

WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY PACK. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.

Lithium ion batteries have a finite operating life. If the amount of cutting time per charge decreases noticeably, the battery pack is at the end of its useful life and should be replaced.

• Make sure the battery pack, including the contacts, is clean, dry, and has no signs of puncture, impact, or other damage. Broken batteries can cause fires or emit hazardous chemicals.

• Clean dirty contacts with a soft, dry cloth. Dirt or oil can cause a poor electrical connection resulting in loss of power.

CHARGER

• Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet.

• Clean dirty contacts with a soft, dry cloth.
