Operation

Connecting to a Power
Source

Use only a polarized (i.e., one blade is wider than the
other), UL listed (CSA certified in Canada) extension
cord recommended for outdoor use. A polarized plug
will fit in a polarized cord only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the cord, reverse the cord. If it still
does not fit, purchase a polarized extension cord. Do
not change the plug in any way.

Extension Cord Length Minimum Wire Gage (A.W.G.)

100 ft. 16
150 ft. 14

Note: Do not use an extension cord over 150 feet.

Using the Blower

The blower is intended for residential use only. Use
the blower outdoors to move debris as needed.

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.

Storage

Warning

If you do not fully seat the extension cord on
the inlet plug, the loose plug could lead to
overheating and cause a fire, possibly
burning you or others.

Ensure that you fully seat the cord on the
plug and use the cord lock feature to secure
the cord.

Important: Check the power cord frequently during

use for holes in the insulation. Do not use a damaged
cord. Do not run the cord through standing water or
wet grass.

Starting/Stopping

Store the blower and extension cord indoors, in a cool
dry location, out of reach of children and animals.

Service

trouble free use. Should it need service, bring the
product to your Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Your
Toro Dealer is specially trained to fix Toro products

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.
