Do not place hands, feet, or any other part
of the body or clothing near the rotating blade or any other
moving part. The blade begin to rotate forward once the On/Off
switch is depressed. The blade continue to rotate until the
On/Off switch is released. Failure to avoid contact with the

• Do not try to till too deeply or force the product into soil that
is extremely hard or resistant.
• Walk the product through the soil at a normal pace and in
as straight a line as possible.
• Till in slightly overlapping rows. To till most effectively,
follow the pattern indicated in Fig. 11. Start by moving the
cultivator + weeder up and down in vertical lines, then work
horizontally from left to right. This will keep the rows even
and ensure that all the ground is tilled without missing any
spots.
