F.

Keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting area.

3.

Power tool use and care

A.

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.

B.

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.

C.

Remove the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.

Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.

D.

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.

E.

Store idle appliances indoors.

When not in use,

appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high or
locked-up place, out of the reach of children.

F.

Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the operation of
power tools. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

G.

Maintain appliance with care.

Keep cutting edge

sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk
of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.

H.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

I.

Use the power tool in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for
the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work
to be performed.

Using the power tool for operations

different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

J.

Keep guards in place and in working order.

K.

Check for damaged parts.

Before using the

appliance, carefully check a guard or other part that is
damaged to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may affect its

operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

4.

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.

5.

Battery Safety

A.

Do not charge appliance in rain or in wet locations.

B.

Do not use battery-operated appliance in the rain.

C.

Use only the following type and size battery(ies): Toro
battery Model 88540 or 88541.

D.

Remove or disconnect the battery before servicing, cleaning,
or removing material from the gardening appliance.

E.

Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.

F.

Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or
skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

G.

Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause
burns.
