sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use
of attachments or accessories not recommended can
result in serious personal injury.
ATTACHING THE J-HANDLE
See Figure 3.
The J-handle included with the Expand-it
™
Tiller Attachment
provides a barrier to assist the operator in maintaining a safe
distance from the rotating tines. If the power head to which
the tiller attachment will be mounted does not have such a
handle, install the provided handle.
Hold the top and bottom clamp snugly in position on
the shaft housing so that handle will be located to the
operator’s left.
Insert the end of the handle between the clamps.
Align the bolt holes and push the long bolt (1/4-20 x 1-1/2
in.) through the handle side.
Place short bolt (1/4-20 x 1 in.) through opposite side of
clamp. Install flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts
to hold the assembly in place.
After assembly is complete, adjust the position of the
handle for best balance and comfort.
Tighten the long bolt first and then the short bolt.

OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
Breaking up garden soil to prepare seed beds for
planting
Shallow cultivating to remove weeds
OPERATING THE TILLER
See Figure 4.
Hold the tiller attachment with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm
grip with both hands while in operation.
In nearly all types of soil, it is not necessary or recommended
to operate the tiller attachment at full throttle. Doing so
consistently will shorten the life of the engine and drivetrain.
Partial throttle will usually be sufficient.
