WARNING: When using electric gardening
appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS - Before further
use of the product, any part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
condition that may affect its operation. Any part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
For assistance call our customer service help line at
1-800-313-5111.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS - Don’t
use this product in rainy, stormy, damp or wet
locations. Do not operate in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres. Motors in these products normally
spark, and the sparks might Ignite fumes.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY - All visitors, children and
pets should stay at a safe distance from the work
area.
DRESS PROPERLY- Don’t wear loose clothing or
jewelry and wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. They can be caught in moving parts.
Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
USE SAFETY GLASSES - Wear safety glasses
with side shields or goggles that are marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when operating
this product. Use face or dust mask if environment
is dusty.
DOUBLE INSULATION – The tiller/cultivator has
double insulation. This means that all external met-
al parts are insulated from the electrical supply.
This is achieved by introducing an insulation layer
between electrical and mechanical parts. The
double insulation guarantees you the greatest
possible safety.
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord be sure it is heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-
A, or SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
It is possible to tie the extension
cord and power cord in a knot to
prevent them from becoming
disconnected during use. Make
the knot as shown, then connect
the plug end of the power cord
into the receptacle end of the
extension cord. This method can also be used to
tie two extension cords together.
Be aware of the extension cord while operating the
tiller/cultivator. Be careful not to trip on the cord.
Always guide the cord away from the tines.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION - If the tiller/cultivator
is blocked by a foreign object or if the motor is
overloaded, the motor will switch off automatically
by the protection device. Release the trigger lever
and wait for the motor to cool down (approx. 15
minutes) before starting the tiller again.
