Edging - Oregon ST275 Original Instruction Manual

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 14)

SAFETY RULES
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 15)
FIG 15
For extended periods of edging, it is
acceptable to rotate the front handle (Fig
16) This may provide a more comfortable
grip
