OPERATION
CAUTION! Before moving the tiller from one area to another, switch off the motor and wait for the tines to
come to a complete stop. Be careful not to let the tines touch the ground while moving the tiller. The tines, as
well as the unit itself, may be damaged even if the motor is switched off.
CLEARING FOREIGN OBJECTS
During operation, a stone or root could become lodged in the tines, or or tall plants may become wrapped around
the tine shaft.
To clear the tines or tine shaft, release the trigger lever, wait for the tines to come to a complete stop and unplug the
tiller. Carefully dislodge or remove the foreign matter from the tines or tine shaft. To simplify removal of tall grass
or weeds from the tine shaft, remove one or more of the tines.
NOTE: Always wear gloves when clearing the tines or tine shaft.
