Important Safety Instructions
!
WARNING: When using electric tillers,
basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
WARNING: Read all instructions
FOR ALL TILLERS
1) Avoid Dangerous Environments - Don’t
use tillers in damp or wet locations.
2) Don’t Use In Rain.
3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should
be kept at a distance from work area.
4) Dress Properly - Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery.They can be caught
in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and proper footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face
or dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) Use the Right Tiller - Do not use tiller
for any job except that for which it is
intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the gardening tiller. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
8) 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.
9) Extension Cord - Make sure your
extension 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. Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk
of disconnection of tiller cord from the
extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors described
in this manual.
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry
plugged-in tiller with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
11) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry tiller
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
12) Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades
or cutting edges when picking up or
holding the tiller.
13) Don’t Force Tiller - It will do the job
!
