General Safety WARNINGS!

“When using the electric tiller, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

and personal injury, including the following: ”

Warning: When

servicing use only identical replacement.

Polarized Appliance Connections – To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension

cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension

cord, reverse the plug

. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a

correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord

will

require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit

into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not

fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does

not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall

outlet. Do not change the e

quipment plug, extension cord

receptacle,

or extension cord plug in any way. Before using

the tiller, take the time to familiarize yourself with the

controls, especially how to stop the tiller in an emergency.

Only allow responsible individuals who have a thorough

understanding of these instructions to operate the tiller. Never

allow children to operate the tiller. Retain this manual for future

reference
