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.
