D. Your MANTIS Electric Tiller handles special tilling projects
Want to turn part of your lawn into a colorful flower
border?
Your MANTIS Electric Tiller makes it easy! Just run
your tiller back and forth until the sod begins to break
up. Then continue tilling. Your tiller will chop the
clumps of sod until they’re fine. Then, it will work
them into the soil. Pretty soon, you’ll have a soft,
fresh planting bed.
Tilling/cultivating
A. How About a family-size vegetable garden?
Nowadays many gardeners prefer small gardens —
especially in the suburbs, where space is at a
premium. But, if you’re fortunate enough to own a
large lot, you can create a bigger garden — a half
acre or more. Here’s how:
1. First, hire someone with a tractor or big tiller to
break ground for you. This is a one-time-only
investment that’s well worth the small cost.
2. Then, use your tiller to break up any remaining
clumps of soil or sod. Unlike a tractor or big tiller,
your MANTIS Electric Tiller is a precision tool. It
will pulverize your soil into a smooth seed bed.
WARNING DANGER
IF YOUR TINES GET JAMMED OR ENTANGLED,TURN OFF THE
TILLER AT ONCE. REMOVE THE OBSTRUCTION ONLY WHILE
THE TILLER IS UNPLUGGED.
NEVER TRY TO REMOVE AN OBSTRUCTION WHILE THE TILLER IS IN
THE ON POSITION OR PLUGGED IN. SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT.
B. Your MANTIS Electric Tiller makes weeding a pleasure!
As a tiller, your MANTIS Tiller works the soil down
to 10" (25.4 cm) deep. But, as a cultivator, it gently
cultivates the surface, only 2" to 3" (5.09 cm to 7.62
cm) deep.
First, you must switch the tines to the weeding
position. This takes less than a minute.
Then, your MANTIS Electric Tiller’s sharp “tine
teeth” will slice up those pesky weeds, burying them
as you go along. And, since the tines in this position
won’t dig too deep, they won’t hurt your plants’
precious root systems.
The result? Your tiller will cut your weeding time in
half, and turn a tiresome chore into a pleasure.
