WARNING:
When connecting the tilling head and lower handle
using the two self

cessed below the surface. DO NOT START THE UNIT UNTIL
TILLING HEAD AND LOWER HANDLE ARE SECURELY
CONNECTED.
Once the tilling head and lower handle are securely connected,
do not remove the self
-
tapping screws or attempt to disassem-
ble for any purpose. The self
-
tapping screws will lose their ef-
fectiveness of securing the assembly if removed and re

STARTING:
WARNING:
The tines start rotating immediately after the
tiller/cultivator is switched on. Keep hands and feet away
from the tines.
Use the tiller/cultivator for breaking sod, preparing seed beds, and
for cultivating gardens and flower beds. The tiller/cultivator can
also dig small holes for planting saplings or potted plants.
For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the tiller/
cultivator forward to the end of your arm
’
s reach, then firmly pull it
back toward yourself. You will achieve the best results by repeat-
edly allowing it to move forward and pulling it back.
By pulling the tiller/cultivator back towards yourself, the
tines will dig deeper and more aggressively.
CAUTION:
To prevent tripping, take extra precautions when mov-
ing backwards and when pulling the tiller/cultivator back toward
yourself.
