READ THIS INFORMATION

Before you use your new trimmer/brushcutter, read the following

helpful hints to get you started.

Fueling

DANGER:

Gasoline is extremely ﬂammable and explosive.

A ﬁre 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 RUN (Choke Open) and pull the starter cord. If the engine does not start within

5 pulls, see To Start a Cold Engine later in this manual.

Flooded Engine

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

RUN (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).

art products, you are responsible for using the product properly and safely. You are also responsible for training persons you

The Toro warning system in this manual identiﬁes potential hazards and has special safety messages that help you and others

However, regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful. One other word, “Note,” highlights information.

Signal Word Explanation

DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or

serious injury.

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

serious injury.

CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor

or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices that may cause

property damage.

Note Advises you of additional information concerning the operation or maintenance of the

equipment.

Introduction

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 inﬂuence of

alcohol, drugs, or medication.

 Clothing Requirements. Always wear long heavy

pants, boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose cloth-

ing, 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 ﬂexible, non-metallic line recommended by the

manufacturer. For example, never use wire or wire-

rope, which can break off and become a dangerous

projectile.

 Proper Stance. Keep ﬁrm 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 ﬂames. 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

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.

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 carbure-

tor. 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. Fail-

ure to use the proper parts can cause the blade to ﬂy

off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystand-

ers. 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 im-

mediately 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 difﬁcult 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 con-

trol until the blade has completely stopped rotating.
