General Use Guidelines

This device is designed and tested for use 

digging narrow (2-3”) trenches from 16-27” in 

depth (depending on configuration) in most soil 

types. It is not intended to cut solid surfaces 

such as tarmac or concrete. Excessively rocky 

soil types, soil with large heavy rocks, or soil with 

roots measuring more than 2” in diameter can 

damage the chain, drive adapter, or powerhead. 

It is recommended for laying sprinkler lines, 

drainage pipes, cables, root barriers, and related 

applications. Do not use the mini-trencher for 

any purpose other than digging trenches in the 

suitable soil. Any other use is unauthorized and 

may result in serious injury or death.

We recommend that you use the cart when 

digging trenches. It reduces fatigue and keeps 

you at a safe working distance from moving 

parts and debris. However, it is possible to use 

the trencher without the cart if the situation 

demands.

Use common sense and stay safe!

The following constitutes improper use 

and voids any warranty: 

Notice:

Always check with authorities for 

underground utilities before digging 

trenches!

 

Serious injury or death could result from 

contact with gas or electric lines.

•  Attempting to cut wood or trim hedges

•  Attempting to cut concrete, asphalt or tarmac, 

or any solid surface

•  Attempting to cut solid stone or rock

•  Use in extremely rocky soil

In the course of digging a trench, the mini-

trencher may come into contact with unforeseen 

objects such as large tree roots, large heavy 

rocks, unmarked obstacles, etc. We consider this 

reasonably foreseeable misuse and will work with 

you to keep your mini-trencher operational.
