      If it's difficult to remove the battery pack from your Toro Trimmer, it may be due to the tool or battery being new, or corrosion in the terminals. Clean the terminals on both the battery pack and the tool, then apply dielectric grease to the battery terminals. Do not use other lubricants.

      Nicole RiveraAug 23, 2025
      If your Toro Blower isn't running or runs without stopping, there might be a few reasons. First, check the battery pack leads for moisture and allow them to dry or wipe them. Second, make sure the battery is fully installed and latched in the tool. Finally, the battery pack may be low on charge, so charge it fully.
