Tips

Move the application to the work area prior to starting the motor.

Hold the application firmly when it is switched on.

The tines will pull the tiller forward during operation, press the guide bar to
lower the tines slowly.

By pulling the tiller back towards yourself, the tines will dig deeper and more
aggressively.

For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the tiller forward to
the end of your arm’s reach, then firmly pull the tiller back towards yourself.
By repeatedly allowing the tiller to move forward and then pulling it back
towards yourself, the tiller will be most effective.

If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock the tiller from
side to side to start the tiller moving forward again.

For preparing seed bed,
we recommend using
one of the tilling
patterns shown in Fig 5.

Tilling Pattern A: Make
two passes over the
area being tilled, the
second at a right angle
to the first.

Tilling Pattern B: Make
two passes over the
area being tilled, the
second overlapping the first.

To prevent tripping take particular care when moving backwards and when
pulling the tiller.

Always let the tines rotate at top speed: do not work in such a way as to
overload the appliance.

Never pass the tiller over the extension cord; make sure it is always in a safe
position behind your back.

When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline in a sturdy,
safe stance. Do not work on extremely steep slopes.
