OPERATION
The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can re-
sult in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your
tiller and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spec ta cles or stan dard
safety glasses.
