ARE YOU READY TO OPERATE THE TILLER?
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of
injury.

Familiarize yourself with the tiller and its operation before you begin to use it. Know what to do in case of
emergencies.
Physical and Mental Readiness
You must be alert and in good physical condition to operate the tiller. Do not operate the tiller if you are
tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, medication, or any substance that might impair your vision,
dexterity, or judgment.
If you have any physical problem that may be aggravated by strenuous work, consult your physician
before operating the tiller.
Protective Clothing
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants,
sandals, or go barefoot. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Eye, Face, and Head Protection
Always wear safety glasses or goggles that comply with ANSI standard Z87.1 to protect your eyes from
thrown objects. Prescription glasses may be worn under the safety glasses or goggles.
Wearing a dust mask will help to reduce the amount of pollens and dust inhaled.
Hearing Protection
Hearing protectors will help to protect your ears from noise. Earmuff-style hearing protectors can also
protect your ears from thrown objects.
Hand and Body Protection
Wear gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants made of heavy material. Clothing should fit closely but
allow freedom of movement, and should have no strings, straps, etc. that could catch on brush or the
tiller. Keep clothing fastened.
Foot Protection
Wear sturdy work boots with good toe protection and nonslip soles.
