OPERATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
OREGON® CORDLESS TOOL SYSTEM
HEDGE TRIMMER MODEL HT255
AD 0213 F/N 558936
STANCE
Stand with both feet on solid ground,
with weight evenly spread between them.
Do not overreach and do not stand on a
ladder, stepstool, or any raised position
that is not fully secured.
Hold the hedge trimmer as close as
possible to the body to maintain control
(Fig. ).
STOPPING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Release the throttle trigger to stop the
hedge trimmer.
STARTING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Grasp the front and rear handles firmly.
Pull back on trigger lock-out () with
thumb (Fig. ). Squeeze the throttle
trigger () until the cutting blades move
at the desired speed. The front handle
switch () is a safety feature; the hedge
trimmer will not start unless it is
activated.
CONTROLLING CUTTING BLADE
SPEED
The throttle trigger controls the speed
at which the cutting blades oscillate.
Squeeze the throttle trigger more firmly
for faster cutting speed.
Use the lowest pressure required to cut
the material. This helps to maximize
the amount of cutting time per battery
charge and reduces the number of
charging operations required.
