Caution
The blower can throw debris, possibly
causing serious personal injury to the
operator or bystanders. Read and use the
following precautions when using the blower:
Do not blow hard objects such as nails,
bolts, or rocks.
Do not operate the blower near bystanders
or pets.
Use extra care when cleaning debris from
stairs or other tight areas.
Wear safety goggles or other suitable eye
protection, long pants, and shoes.
Using the Vacuum
Caution
The vacuum can throw debris, possibly
causing serious personal injury to the
operator or bystanders.
Do not operate the vacuum without the bag
installed or with the bag zipper open.
Do not vacuum sharp, pointed, or hard
objects that could be thrown through the
fabric of the bag, such as wires, staples,
nails, or rocks.
Emptying the Bag
1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum from the power
source.
2.
Do not store debris in the bag. To clean the bag, turn
it inside out and shake out any excess debris. Once
a year, hand wash the bag in soapy water and allow it
to air dry.
Warning
Normal usage of the bag causes it to wear
and deteriorate over time. A worn or
deteriorated bag allows small objects to be
thrown through the bag, possibly injuring the
operator or bystanders.
Check the bag frequently. If it is worn or
deteriorated, replace it with a genuine Toro
vacuum bag.
Removing Clogged Debris
Important: Do not force the vacuum tube into a pile
of debris or hold the tube upright while force feeding
debris into the tube. Either action may clog and
damage the impeller. If the vacuum starts to vibrate
or make abnormal noise, stop it, unplug the cord,
and check for the cause.

Double-insulated
Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only by the qualified
service personnel at your Authorized Toro Service
Dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
A double-insulated appliance is marked with the
words “Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The
symbol (square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance.
