SAFETY RULES
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
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
CAUTION: ESTABLISH A
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
• 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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
– 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
• 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.

SAFETY RULES
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
BATTERY 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
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
• 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.

TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275
OPERATING THE TRIMMER/EDGER
CONTROLLING TRIMMER HEAD
SPEED
TRIMMING
The throttle trigger controls the speed at
which the trimmer head turns Squeeze
the throttle trigger more firmly for faster
cutting speed
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
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
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
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 15) 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
Angle the trimmer head slightly toward
the direction of the cut (Fig 16)
FIG. 16
FIG. 15
5–10°
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”
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

OREGON® Cordless Tool System
TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275
OPERATING THE TRIMMER/EDGER
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 18)
EDGING
FIG. 18
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 17)
For extended periods of edging, it is
acceptable to rotate the front handle
(Fig 19) This may provide a more
comfortable grip

REMOVE THE BATTERY BEFORE
CORRECTING GRASS BIND TO AVOID
ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION OF THE
TRIMMER HEAD.
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
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
• 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
To correct grass bind:
• Remove the battery
• Remove the trimmer head
• Clean dirty contacts with a soft, dry
cloth
• 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
