SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Do not use near underground electric cables, telephone, lines, pipes, or hoses. If in doubt,
contact your utility or telephone company to locate underground services.
• If the unit strikes a foreign object, stop the motor, disconnect the battery, thoroughly
inspect the machine for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating
the machine.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by cultivating too deep in a single pass or at too fast a
rate.
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate cultivator when you
are tired, ill, or upset.
• Be aware that the equipment may unexpectedly bounce upward or jump forward if the tines
should strike buried obstacles such as large stones, roots, or stumps.
• Wear hearing protection.
