Operation

!

During operation, the trimmer may throw objects in the operator's or a bystander's direction, causing injury.

- Wear safety goggles or other suitable eye protection, long pants, and shoes while operating the trimmer.

- Keep bystanders away from the work area.

!

When the trimmer is running the cutting head is spinning. If you contact the cutting line or cutting head, you could be injured.

- Keep the cutting head away from your hands, feet, and bystanders. Keep the guard in place and in working order.

- Wear shoes and long pants when using the trimmer.

- Ensure that the cutting head has stopped and you disconnect the trimmer from the power source before you service or examine the cutting head. Do not start the trimmer unless your hands are on both handles and the cutting head is down near the ground.

- Do not allow the trimmer to cut into the cord.

Connecting to a Power Source

!

If you do not fully seat the extension cord on the inlet plug, the loose plug could lead to overheating and cause a fire, possibly burning you or others.

Ensure that you fully seat the cord on the plug and use the cord lock feature to secure the cord.

Lengthening the Line

To increase the length of the cutting line, tap the spool on the ground while the trimmer is running.

Note: The blade under the guard will cut the line to the correct length.

Important: Use the following precautions to ensure optimal line performance.

• Do not hold the spool on the ground.
  •To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to lengthen line. If additional line is required, wait a few seconds before tapping the trimmer head.
• If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the short line may retract into the cutter head. Should this occur, remove spool, refeed the line through eyelet, and assemble spool to trimmer.

Operating Tips

To reduce line wear and improve trimming performance, use the following techniques when trimming:

• Remove any wire, rope or string-like matter which could become entangled in the rotating line from the trimming area.
• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
• Slowly move the trimmer in and out of the area being cut.

• Cut grass in excess of eight inches tall or weeds from the top to the bottom in small increments.
• Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line to do the cutting.

Replacing Line

For replacement line, you can purchase either a new, pre-wound spool of line (model no. 88175) or bulk line (0.065 inch dia. (1.6 mm) x 30ft. (9 m)) that you can wind onto the old spool. Both are available from your Authorized Toro Dealer.

Metal wire, rope, plastic knives, or any material other than Toro .065 inch dia. (1.6 mm) nylon monofilament may overload the motor, possibly causing a fire or electrical shock.

Do not use any material other than Toro .065 inch dia. (1.6 mm) nylon monofilament, 30 ft. (9 m) maximum line length.

Removing the Spool

1. Twist the cap off counterclockwise.
2. Remove the cap and spool.
   Note: If the spring falls off, install it before installing the spool.
3. Thoroughly clean the cutting head and cap and inspect them for any damaged or worn parts.

m-6302 m-7855

Rewinding the Spool

Note: If you are replacing the spool with a new, pre-wound spool, discard the empty spool and skip this section.

1. Remove any cutting line left on the spool.
2. Hook one end of line all the way into the slot on the spool, allowing no more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) to protrude.
3. Wind the line in the direction of the arrow on the spool, in level rows, between the spool flanges.

Note: The trimmer will not function correctly if you wind the line in the wrong direction, the end of the line protrudes more than 1/8 inch (3 mm), or you wind more than 30 ft of line on the spool.

Installing the Spool

If you do not fully install the spool and cap, the trimmer could throw them during operation, causing injury to you or bystanders.

1. Holding the line and spool, insert the spool into the cutting head and the line into the eyelet.

2. Holding the line and spool, place the cap over the spool.

3. Twist the cap on securely clockwise.

Maintenance

After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:

• Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do not hose the trimmer down or submerge it in water.
• Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any time there is an accumulation of dirt or cuttings.
• Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or lost, repair or replace it.
• Brush debris away from air intake vents on the back of the shaft to prevent the motor from overheating.

Storage

Store the trimmer and extension cord indoors, in a cool dry location, out of reach of children and animals.

Important: Do not rest the trimmer on the guard or it may may warp and interfere with the cutting line.

Note: Devices for retaining extension cords are commercially available.

Service

Toro has designed this product to give you years of trouble free use. Should it need service, take the product to your Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Your Toro Dealer is specially trained to fix Toro products and will ensure that your Toro stays "All" Toro.

Double-insulated Appliance

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by the qualified service personnel at your Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words "Double Insulation" or "Double Insulated." The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
