Maintenance

After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:
1.
Remove the battery from the trimmer.
2.
Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do
not hose the trimmer down or submerge it in
water.
CAUTION
The line cutoff blade on the deflector is
sharp and can cut you.
Do not use your hands to clean the
deflector shield and blade.
3.
Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any
time there is an accumulation of debris.
4.
Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is
damaged or lost, repair or replace it.
5.
Brush debris away from air intake vents and
exhaust on motor housing to prevent the motor
from overheating.

Replacing the Spool

Use only 2 mm (0.08 inch) diameter monofilament
string. Use the original manufacturer's replacement
string for best performance (Toro Part No. 88546).
Important:
Using a larger diameter string causes
the motor to overheat and fail.
1.
Remove the battery.
2.
Push in the tab on the side of the spool retainer
(Figure
16).

Pull the spool retainer up to remove it and
remove the spool.
4.
To install the new spool, make sure that the
string is captured in 1 of the retaining slots on
the new spool. Make sure the end of the string
extends approximately 152 mm (6 inches).
5.
Install the new spool so that the string aligns
with the eyelet in the string head. Thread the
string into the eyelet.
6.
Pull the string extending from the string head so
that the string releases from the slot in the spool.
7.
Install the spool retainer by pressing the tabs
into the slots and pushing down until the spool
retainer clicks into place.
