Never operate the tiller at high transport
speeds on hard or slippery surfaces.
Be careful when tilling in hard ground. The
tines may catch in the ground and propel the
tiller forward. If this occurs, let go of the
handlebars and do not restrain the machine.
Use caution when tilling near fences, buildings
and undergrou property damage or personal
injury.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry
passengers.
Never leave the operating position when the
engine is running.
Always stop the engine when tilling is delayed
or when walking from one tilling location to
another.
Keep unit clean of vegetation and other
materials.
They may become lodged between the tines.
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug
before unclogging the tines.
To reduce exposure to vibration, limit the hours
of operation and take periodic breaks to
minimize repetition and rest your hands.
Reduce the speed and force in which you do
the repetitive movement.
Try to fill each day with jobs where operating
hand-held power equipment is not required.
