SAFETY WARNINGS
BEFORE OPERATING TILLER
1. Do not operate tiller near underground
electric cables, telephone lines, pipes,
or hoses. If in doubt contact your util-
ity company to locate underground
services. You may also contact the
National One Call referral number,
1-888-258-0808, for local contact
information concerning underground
utilities.
2. Watch what you are doing. Use com-
mon sense. Do not operate tiller when
you are tired.
3. Only well-instructed adults should
operate tiller. Never allow children to
operate tiller.
4. Do not use the tiller for any job except
that for which it is intended.
5. Use only electrical voltage noted on
model plate of tiller.
7. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection should be provided
on the circuit(s) for use with this tiller.
Receptacles are available with built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for
additional measure of safety.
8. Avoid Dangerous Environments. Do
not operate tiller
• while under the infl uence of alcohol,
medication, or drugs.
• in rain or in damp or wet areas.
• where highly fl ammable liquids or
gases are present.
• if tiller is damaged, or not fully and
securely assembled.
9. Always wear eye protection which
meets or exceeds the requirements of
ANSI Z87.1.
10. Always use face or dust mask if operat-
ing tiller in dusty conditions.
11. Always dress properly. Wear the fol-
lowing clothing while using tiller:
• Use of rubber gloves and substantial
footwear is recommended.
• Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
• Avoid wearing loose clothing or
jewelry that could get caught in the
rotating tines.
12. Thoroughly inspect area where the til-
ler is to be used and remove all foreign
objects.
WHILE OPERATING TILLER
1. Stay alert. Use common sense while
operating tiller.
2. Be aware of extension cord while operat-
ing tiller. Be careful not to trip over cord.
Keep cord away from tines at all times.
3. Keep all children, animals, and by-
standers away from tiller and extension
cord. Keep the area of operation clear
of all persons and pets.
4. Grip handlebar fi rmly with both hands.
Never operate tiller with one hand.
5. Be aware that tiller may unexpectedly
bounce upward or jump forward if the
tines should strike extremely hard,
packed soil, frozen ground, or buried
obstacles such as large stones, roots,
or stumps.
6. Do not over reach. Maintain proper
footing and balance at all times.
7. Do not operate tiller on a slope that is
too steep for safe operation. When on
slopes, slow down and make sure you
have good footing.
8. IMPORTANT: you can stop the tines
by releasing the trigger lever.
9. Before starting tiller, make sure tines
are not touching foreign objects.
10. Do not allow hands or any body part or
clothing near the rotating tines.
11. Move tiller from one place to another
• with tiller stopped and unplugged.
• by rolling on attached wheel assem-
bly in the down “transport” posi-
tion.
• by holding carrying handle. Never
use handlebars, tines, tine shaft, or
fender to carry tiller.
12. Do not abuse power cord. Never carry
tiller by power cord or yank it to dis-
connect from receptacle. Keep power
cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
13. Do not force tiller. It will do the job
better and with less likelihood of a risk
of injury at the rate for which it was
designed.
WARNING: When using elec-
tric gardening appliances, basic
safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of
fi re, electric shock, and personal
injury.
6. Extension Cord - Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection
of tiller cord from the extension cord dur-
ing operation use the cord hitch and belt
clip described in this manual.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor
use, such as an extension cord of
cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-
A, or SJTOW-A.
