Note:
When storing the unit or when setting
unit down between uses, place the unit
flat on the floor so it sits on its stand
instead of hanging it by the guard or
the cutting head (Fig. 13).
Using The Brush Blade
Note:
Always use the shoulder harness when
using the brush blade accessory.
1.
Always maintain the proper stance for using the
brush blade kit (Fig. 14).
Sharpening The Brush Blade
IMPORTANT: Do not sharpen the brush
blade.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Sharpening the blade can cause the blade
tip to break off while in use.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with a thrown blade or piece of
blade could result in serious personal
injury to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
DO NOT SHARPEN THE BRUSH
BLADE. Replace blade if dull.
EN–9
The brush blade is designed with a second set of
teeth, which can be used by removing the blade,
turning it upside down, and reinstalling it.
If a crack is noticed, install a new blade from your
Authorized Toro Service Dealer.
Adjusting The Trimming Line
Length
Your trimmer is equipped with a bump head that
allows the operator to release more trimming line
without stopping the engine. To release additional
line, lightly tap the trimming head on the ground
(Fig. 15) while operating the trimmer at high speed.
Note:
Always keep the trimming line fully
extended. Line release becomes more
difficult as cutting line becomes
shorter.
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 in (25.4 mm)
of trimming line is released. A blade in the string
guard will cut the line to the proper length if excess
line is released.
For best results, tap the head on bare ground or hard
soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the
engine may stall.
Decorative Trimming
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all
vegetation around trees, posts, fences, etc (Fig. 16).
