be followed to reduce the risk of
fi re, electric shock, and personal

BEFORE OPERATING TILLER

1. Do not operate tiller near underground
electric cables, telephone lines, pipes,
or hoses. If in doubt contact your util-
ity company to locate underground
services. You may also contact the
National One Call referral number,
1-888-258-0808, for local contact
information concerning underground
utilities.
2. Watch what you are doing. Use com-
mon sense. Do not operate tiller when
you are tired.
3. Only well-instructed adults should
operate tiller. Never allow children to
operate tiller.
4. Do not use the tiller for any job except
that for which it is intended.
5. Use only electrical voltage noted on
model plate of tiller.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor
use, such as an extension cord of
cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-
A, or SJTOW-A.
6. Extension Cord - Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use
one 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 table below 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. To reduce the risk of disconnection
of tiller cord from the extension cord dur-
ing operation use the cord hitch and belt
clip described in this manual.
