Use and Care Manual

4 Operator’s Manual
If the tiller/cultivator is used improperly or
safety precautions are not followed, the users
risk serious injury to themselves, others and
property. Read and understand this manual
before attempting to operate this tiller.
Moving parts will continue to run for several seconds
after turning off the tiller/cultivator. Wait until the
tines have completely stopped before lifting the tiller/
cultivator or conducting inspection and maintenance.
Some dust and debris created by the use of the tool could contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Chemicals in fertilizers
• Compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, and depends on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-
ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks
that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
