Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS—This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for Toro 60V lithium-ion battery packs and Toro 60V lithium-ion battery chargers.
   Before using the battery charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, battery pack, and product using the battery pack.
   CAUTION—To reduce risk of injury, charge Toro 60V lithium-ion battery packs with Toro 60V lithium-ion battery chargers only. Other brands of battery packs may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
   WARNING—Plugging the battery charger into an outlet that is not 120 V can cause a fire or electric shock. Do not plug the battery charger into an outlet other than 120 V. For a different style of connection, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet if needed.

2. These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following 2 conditions: (1) These devices may not cause harmful interference; and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Training

1. Do not allow children or untrained people to operate or service this device. Allow only people who are responsible, trained, familiar with the instructions, and physically capable to operate or service the device.
2. Do not allow children to use or play with the battery pack or battery charger; local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

Preparation

1. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Using other types of battery packs may create a risk of injury and/or fire.
2. Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack or battery charger. It may exhibit unpredictable behavior, resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
3. If the supply cord to the battery charger is damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer to replace it.

Operation

1. Charge the battery pack with only the battery charger specified by Toro. A charger suitable for 1 type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
2. Charge the battery pack in a well-ventilated area only.
3. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Otherwise, you may damage the battery pack and increase the risk of fire.

Operation

Charging the Battery Pack

Important: The battery pack is not fully charged when you purchase it. Before using the tool for the first time, place the battery pack in the charger and charge it until the LED display indicates the battery pack is fully charged. Read all safety precautions. Important: Charge the battery pack only in temperatures that are within the appropriate range; refer to Specifications (page 9).

Note: At any time, press the battery-charge-indicator button on the battery pack to display the current charge (LED indicators).

1. Ensure that the vents on the battery and charger are clear of any dust and debris.
2. Line up the cavity in the battery pack (Figure 4) with the tongue on the charger.
3. Slide the battery pack into the charger until it is fully seated (Figure 4).
4. To remove the battery pack, slide the battery backward out of the charger.
5. Refer to the following table to interpret the LED indicator light on the battery charger.

Troubleshooting

California Proposition 65 Warning Information

What is this warning?
You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.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 clarified 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 significant 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 the manufacturer include this warning?
the manufacturer 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. the manufacturer 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 the manufacturer products may be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, the manufacturer has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if the manufacturer 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.
