Specific Safety Warnings for
Garden Tiller
1. Always inspect the area where the tiller is to be used.
Remove all objects (e.g., stones, sticks, wires and foreign
objects) that could be thrown by the blades or cause the
operator to trip.
2. Thrown objects can cause serious injury to the eyes and
exposed body. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
during operation and while performing an adjustment
or repair.
3. Always operate garden tiller wearing adequate garments.
Do not wear jewelry or other loose clothing, which could
become entangled in moving parts. Wear footwear that
provides sure footing.
4. Keep people, pets and property at least 25 feet from the
garden tiller while it is in operation. Stop the garden tiller if
people or pets enter the discharge area.
5. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor
is running.
6. Contact with the rotating parts can amputate hands and
feet. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
7. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.

material toward people, pets and property. Thrown objects
can cause serious personal injury.
9. Hold onto the garden tiller with both hands during
operation. Ensure the grips are dry.
10. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, thoroughly
inspect the garden tiller for any damage, and repair the
damage before restarting and operating the garden tiller.
Disconnect the cord on electric motors.
11. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
12. Observe any noise-prevention regulations and laws.
13. If the garden tiller should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
14. Disengage all controls, stop the motor and wait until
the blades come to a complete stop when leaving the
operating position, before unclogging the blades and
when making any repair, adjustments and inspections.
15. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the
motor and make certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the cord on electric motors.
16. Never operate the garden tiller without proper guard,
plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
17. Do not overload the garden tiller capacity by attempting to
cultivate too deep at too fast a rate.
18. Never operate the garden tiller at high transport speeds on
hard or slippery surfaces.
19. Be careful when cultivating in hard ground. The blades
may catch in the ground and propel the garden tiller
forward. If this occurs, let go of the handlebars and do not
restrain the garden tiller.

tiller towards you.
21. Switch on the motor carefully according to instructions
and with feet well away from the blades.

power when there is a work stoppage or changing work
areas. Never leave the machine running when unattended.

turning the tiller OFF. Wait until the blades have completely
stopped before lifting the machine or conducting
inspection and maintenance.
28. The motor housing remains hot for a short period after the
machine is turned OFF. Allow the motor housing to cool off
before touching or storing near combustible material.
29. Regularly check the following:
i) Accumulation of debris around the blades could cause
a poor performance or damage to the motor. Inspect
and clean before every use.
ii) Safety devices are operating properly. Do not tamper
with or adjust safety devices.

machine for any damage and that the tiller is in safe
working condition.
iv) Always replace damaged parts with original equipment
manufacturer's (OEM) parts only. Replacement parts
that do not meet the original equipment specifications
may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety.
