special monofilament line. Your
trimmer comes complete with a supply
of this line already wound onto the
spool.

the monofilament line has been taped to the
cutter head. The tape must be removed before
operation (Fig. 6).

place. Align cap tabs with slots in cutter head,
press in tabs and push down cap and spool to
lock cap in place (Fig. 16).
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Cap may loosen during shipment. A loose
or improperly installed cap or spool could
fly off trimmer.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with a thrown spool or cap could
cause injury to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Be sure spool and cap are fully secured
before operating the unit. Replace spool if it
is damaged or if cap does not securely snap
onto cutter head.
Keep bystanders and pets away from
trimming area.

Securing Extension Cord

Note: The proper extension cord is a
requirement for safe and efficient use
of your Toro trimmer. Use only an
