Operation; Starting The Trimmer - Toro 51488 Operator's Manual

Operation

Important: The battery pack is not fully charged when it is
purchased. Before using the trimmer for the first time, place
the battery pack in the charger and charge it until the LED
display indicates the battery is charged. Make sure to read
all safety precautions. With regular use, it will need shorter
charging time. If storing for 1 month or longer, enable storage
mode on the charger. When ready to use again, charge the
battery pack until the LED display indicates the battery is
charged. Refer to (page ).

5. Slide the thumb wheel away from you to increase the motor
speed, and towards you to decrease motor speed (Figure 9).
Note: A higher motor speed is effective for trimming thicker
grass, but will decrease the battery operation time. Use a
lower motor speed to increase the operation time.
