extension cord is kept away from the work area.
3. Do not try to till too deeply or force the electric tiller into
soil that is extremely hard or resistant.

this occurs the machine will not operate until the motor has
completely cooled down.
4. Always maintain a firm grip on the electric tiller.
5. Lift the electric tiller over hard surfaces. Do not lift or drag
the electric tiller when the motor is running.
