Operation

Charging the Battery
Charge the battery for 24 hours before the first use
and after each use thereafter.
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 charger
plug into the trimmer
receptacle.
Important: Use only the charger supplied with the
trimmer or a Genuine Toro charger obtained from
your Authorized Toro Dealer.
2. Plug the charger into a wall receptacle.
The green charge light lights.
3. Charge the battery for 24 hours.
Note: The charge light will always be on when the
trimmer is connected to the charger and the power
outlet. It does not turn off when charged.

Operating Tips
To reduce line wear and and improve trimming
performance, use the following techniques when
trimming:
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 feet
and bystanders.
Ensure that the cutting head has stopped and
the trimmer is unplugged before inverting it.
Do not start the trimmer when it is inverted.
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.
Do not use the trimmer as an edger.
Keep people and pets away from the trimming
area.
Inspect the area to be trimmed for any wire, rope
or string-like matter which could become
entangled in the rotating line. Pick up any objects
or debris that could be thrown by the trimmer.
Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
Slowly move the
trimmer in and out
of the area being
cut.
