Toro 51460 Mode D'emploi page 5

Slowly move the
trimmer in and out
of the area being
cut.
Cut grass in excess of eight inches tall or weeds
from the top to the bottom in small increments.
Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of
the nylon line to do the cutting (especially along
walls).
Do not drag the trimmer spool on the ground
while trimming.
After each use, feed out some line to prevent line
from retracting into cutting head.
Do not store the trimmer with the battery
discharged.
The trimmer cannot be over charged. Keep it on
the charger when you are not using it.
Store the trimmer in a cool, dry location away
from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Lengthening the Line
The tip of the cutting line will wear during use and
reduce the cutting swath.
To increase the length of
the line, tap the spool on
the ground while the
trimmer is running.
Note: The blade under the guard will automatically
cut the line to the correct length.
Important: Use the following precautions to ensure
optimal line performance.
Do not hold the spool on the ground.
To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to
lengthen line. If additional line is required, wait a
few seconds before tapping the trimmer head.
Do not allow the line to wear too short.
Keep the line length at full cutting diameter as
much as possible.
If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will
wear down to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops,
the line tends to relax and may retract into the
5
cutter head. Should this occur, remove spool,
refeed the line through eyelet, and assemble
spool to trimmer.
Replacing Line
For replacement line, you can purchase either a new,
pre-wound spool of line (model no. 88185 or 88045)
or bulk line (0.065 inch dia. x 10ft.) that you can wind
onto the old spool. Both are available from your
Authorized Toro Dealer.
The spool may wear during normal use and may
require occasional replacement.
Note: If the line should tangle or break at the eyelet,
stop the trimmer, remove the spool as described
below, feed the line through the eyelet, and
reassemble the spool to the cutting head.
If you use line other than Toro .065 inch dia.
nylon monofilament, it could cut through clothes
and skin causing injury and/or overload the
motor, possibly causing a fire or electrical shock.
Do not use metal wire, rope, plastic knives, or
any cutting line or material other than Toro
.065 inch dia. nylon monofilament, 10 foot
maximum line length.
If you do not fully install the spool and cap, the
trimmer could throw them during operation,
causing injury to the operator or bystanders.
Ensure that you fully install the spool and cap,
with the two locking tabs on the cap secured in
the spool housing.
1. Press in the tabs on
each side of the cap.
Note: You may need a
screwdriver to press the
tabs on a new trimmer.
2.
Note: If the spring falls off of the cutter head during
this procedure, install the spring before installing the
spool and cap.
