General Cleaning and
Tightening
POTENTIAL HAZARD
When engine is running, cutting blade is
rotating and other parts are moving.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with rotating cutting blade or other
moving parts could cause serious personal
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always turn off your Brushcutter before you
clean or perform any maintenance on it.
The Toro Brushcutter will provide maximum performance
for many, many hours if it is maintained properly. Good
maintenance includes regular checking of all fasteners for
correct tightness, and cleaning the entire machine.
Blade Sharpening
IMPORTANT: Replace any blade that is worn, cracked
or damaged.
IMPORTANT: Sharpen every tooth evenly so the blade
rotates smoothly. If you sharpen a blade with a grinder,
do not overheat the blade, and do not quench a hot
blade in water to cool it.
