Before you use your new trimmer/brushcutter, read the following helpful hints to get you started.

Fueling

DANGER:

Gasoline is extremely ammable and explosive. A re or explosion from gasoline will burn you and others.

1. Obtain a clean container that is approved for use with gasoline.

2. Mix all of the 2-cycle oil provided with 1 US gallon of 87-octane, unleaded gasoline (50:1).

3. Fill the trimmer’s gas tank carefully.

Cold Starting vs. Warm Starting

When you restart the trimmer/brushcutter and you are not sure whether the engine is still warm, set the choke lever to B (Choke Open) and pull the starter cord. If the engine does not start within 5 pulls, refer to “To Start a Cold Engine” later in this manual.

Flooded Engine

Will the engine start? If not, it may be ooded. Relax, this is easy to correct. Set the choke lever to

B (Choke Open). Squeeze the trigger and pull the starter cord quickly for 10 to 12 pulls.

If the engine does not start, refer to “Troubleshooting” later in this manual or call toll-free at 1-866-574-9242 (US) or 1-866-574-9243 (Canada).

For questions concerning your trimmer/brushcutter, call us toll free at 1-866-574-9242.

Although Toro designs, produces, and markets safe, state-of-theart products, you are responsible for using the product properly and safely. You are also responsible for training persons you allow to use the product about safe operation.

The Toro warning system in this manual identiﬁes potential hazards and has special safety messages that help you and others avoid personal injury, even death.

serious injury.

WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

Introduction

Safety Rules

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in serious personal injury as well as damage to the product.

This product has been designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the requirements of the current version of ANSI B175.3, safety requirements for gasoline-powered string trimmers and brushcutters.

■ Physical Condition of the Operator. Do not operate

this product when tired, ill, or under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

■ Clothing Requirements. Always wear long heavy

pants, boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Secure hair so that it is above shoulder level to avoid entanglement in moving parts.

■ Protective Accessories Requirements. Wear eye

protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards when operating this product. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

■ Condition of Trimmer Before Use. Inspect the

product before each use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield is properly attached, and in the position recommended by the manufacturer. Use only exible, non-metallic line recommended by the manufacturer. For example, never use wire or wirerope, which can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

■ Proper Stance. Keep rm footing and balance. Do

not overreach. Keep the cutting attachment below waist level. Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment and hot surfaces.

■ Exhaust Gases. Never start or run the product inside

a closed room or building; breathing exhaust fumes can cause illness or death.

■ Fueling. Mix and pour fuel outdoors where there are

no sparks and ames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only after stopping the engine. Do not smoke while fueling or mixing fuel. Wipe spilled fuel from the product. Move at least 30 ft. (9 m) away from the fueling source and site before starting the engine.

■ Work Area. Clear the area to be cut before each

use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, that can be thrown or become

entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders, and pets outside a 50 ft. (15 m) radius. Because there still may be a risk of injury to bystanders from thrown objects, bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached while operating the product, stop the engine and the cutting attachment.

■ Dangerous Environments. To avoid falling, do not

use the product in damp or wet locations.

■ Controlling the Product. During carburetor adjust-

ments the cutting attachment may spin. Therefore, you should wear protective equipment and observe all safety instructions when adjusting the carburetor. For products equipped with a clutch, be sure the cutting attachment stops turning when the engine idles. When the product is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before setting down the product.

■ Use the Right Product. Use the product for the

intended purpose only.

■ Condition of Brushcutter Before Use. The handles

shall be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not attach any blade to a product without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause the blade to y off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders. Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken, or damaged in any way.

■ Use the Right Equipment. Always use the barrier

bar on the front handle and the shoulder strap with the brushcutter.

■ Blade Thrust. Blade thrust may occur when the

spinning blade contacts an object that it does not immediately cut. A blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the product and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control of the product. Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difcult to see the material being cut.

■ Stopping the Product. A coasting blade can cause

injury while it continues to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle is released. Maintain proper control until the blade has completely stopped rotating.

Safety Rules

This engine is equipped with a spark arrester mufer. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate this engine without a spark arrester mufer on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grasscovered land. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

Cutting Tips

See Figures 18 and 19.

1. Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from your body. (Proper operating position is shown in Figures 16a, 16b and 17.)

2. Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.

3. The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to left. the straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in gures 18 and 19.

4. Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.

5. Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs and wood may wear string rapidly.

6. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
