Operation
Important: This appliance is intended for outdoor,
residential use only. Do not use it indoors or for commercial
or industrial purposes. This appliance is for household use
only.
Connecting to a Power
Source
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (i.e., one blade is wider than the other). Use only a polarized,
UL listed (CSA certified in Canada) extension cord recommended
for outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a polarized cord only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the cord, reverse the cord.
If it still does not fit, purchase a polarized extension cord. If you
have a polarized extension cord and the extension cord plug does
not fit fully into the wall receptacle, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the appliance or extension cord plug in any way.

Important:
Do not force the vacuum tube into a pile of
debris or hold the tube upright while force feeding debris into
the tube. Either action may clog and damage the impeller. If
the vacuum starts to vibrate or make abnormal noise, stop it,
unplug the cord, and check for the cause.
Using the Appliance as a
Blower

Using the Appliance as a
Vacuum
DANGER

possibly causing serious personal injury to you or
bystanders.
Check the bag frequently. If it is worn or
deteriorated, replace it with a genuine Toro
vacuum bag.
• Do not operate the vacuum without the bag installed
or with the bag zipper open.
• Do not vacuum sharp, pointed, or hard objects that
could be thrown through the fabric of the bag, such
as wires, staples, nails, or rocks.

appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by the qualified service personnel
at your Authorized Service Dealer. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they
replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol (square
may also be marked on the appliance.
