Operating T ips
• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best
cutting area.
• The string trimmer cuts when you move it from right to left. This
prevents the trimmer from throwing debris at you.
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force the string head
into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences can cause the string to wear rapidly and even
break. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood can also cause the
string to wear rapidly .
• A void trees and shrubs. The string can easily damage tree bark, wood
moldings, siding, and fence posts.

California Proposition 65 W arning Information
What is this warning?
Y ou may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:
W ARNING: Cancer and Reproductive
Harm—www .p65W arnings.ca.gov .
What is Prop 65?
Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products
that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a
list of chemicals known to cause cancer , birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated
annually , includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the
public about exposure to these chemicals.
Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product,
product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover , a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in
violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the California government has claried that
a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these
chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go
to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all .
A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds
the “no signicant risk level”; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence
of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.
Does this law apply everywhere?
Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only . These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide
range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a
wide variety of products. Additionally , some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their
websites or in catalogs.
How do the California warnings compare to federal limits?
Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances
that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65
standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 μg/day , which is well below the federal and international standards.
Why don’t all similar products carry the warning?
• Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.
• A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its
products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.
• The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.
• Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so
under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals
at similar levels.
Why does T oro include this warning?
T oro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed
decisions about the products they buy and use. T oro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of
the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals
provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from T oro products may be negligible or well within the “no
signicant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, T oro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover , if
T oro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to
enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
