Move the application to the work area prior to starting the motor.

the tines slowly.

For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the tiller forward to the end

allowing the tiller to move forward and then pulling back to you, the tiller will be
most effective.
If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock the tiller side to side
to start the tiller moving forward again.
For preparing seed bed, we recommend using one of the tilling patterns shown in
Fig. 4.
Tilling Pattern A – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second at a right
angle to the first.
Tilling Pattern B – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second overlapping
the first.
To prevent tripping take particular care when moving backwards and when pulling

Always let the tines rotates at top speed; do not work in such a way as to

Never pass the tiller over the extension cord; make sure it is always in a safe
