A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.
Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!

STARTING AND STOPPING
Check before starting Starting and stopping
�
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
!
WARNING! The complete clutch cover and shaft must be �tted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury. Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting. Place the machine on a �at surface. Ensure the cutting attachment cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 metres.
�
Check that the support �ange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support �ange if it is cracked.
Starting
Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position. � Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50 Nm.
�
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked. Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is cracked.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins to �ll the bulb. The bulb need not be completely �lled.
�
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are not damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are cracked.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
!
� � Never use the machine without a guard nor with a defective guard. All covers must be correctly �tted and undamaged before you start the machine.
WARNING! When the engine is started with the choke in either the choke or start throttle positions the cutting attachment will start to rotate immediately.
