General Safety WARNINGS!
“When using the electric tiller, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and personal injury, including the following:”
m
Warning: When servicing use only identical replacement.
Polarized Appliance Connections – To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way. Before using the tiller, take the time to familiarize
yourself with the controls, especially how to stop the tiller in
an emergency. Only allow responsible individuals who have
a thorough understanding of these instructions to operate
the tiller. Never allow children to operate the tiller. Retain this
manual for future reference and reread it at the start of each
tilling session.
