Operation
Charging the Battery
Charge the battery for 24 hours before the first use
and after each use thereafter in a clean area free of
clutter and debris.
Important: Always charge the battery after each
use. Storing the unit with a discharged battery will
reduce the life of your battery. This lead-acid battery
has no memory and does not need to be run dead
before charging.
1.
Insert the trimmer
into the charger.

your Authorized Toro Dealer.

The red charge light under the handle section of
the trimmer lights.
3.
Charge the battery for 24 hours. When the
trimmer is fully charged, the red light turns off and the
green light lights.
Note: The trimmer cannot be over charged. Keep it
on the charger when you are not using it.

Edging
To use the trimmer as an edger, turn it over and hold
the trimmer as shown. This will allow you to run the
cutting line perpendicular to the ground.

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.
For information on
changing the maximum
line length, refer to
Adjusting the Maximum
Line 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.
