Operating Tips
•
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best
cutting area.
•
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right.
This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head
into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and
fence posts can easily be damaged by the strings.

Maintenance
After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:
•
Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do not hose the
trimmer down or submerge it in water.
•
Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any time there is an
accumulation of debris.
•
Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or lost,
repair or replace it.
•
Brush debris away from air intake vents on the back of the shaft to
prevent the motor from overheating.
Replacing the Spool
Use only .065 in. (1.65 mm) diameter monofilament string. Use original
manufacturer's replacement string for best performance (Toro part
number 88512).
