Maintain your grip, and balance on both
feet (Fig. 6).
You can work moving the cultivator
forward or backward, from left to right,
right to left, or in a circular motion.
Choose the best method to suit your
purpose, which will depend on the shape
and size of the area and soil conditions.
Working in an alternating backward and
forward motion is particularly suitable for
loosening packed soil.
When trenching or furrowing, walk slowly
backward and pull the cultivator to create
the furrow. Repeat as necessary to obtain
deeper furrows.
NOTICE:
Pulling the cultivator carefully toward you while it is digging into the soil will
reduce your effort and make the tilling easier.
Thrown materials may seriously injure the operator or bystander. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, it is essential to take the following precautions:
◾
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such as glass, stones, rocks,
concrete, fence wire, pieces of metal, etc., which can be thrown or entangled in
the blades. Avoid contact with hard or solid foreign objects.
◾
Inspect the blades regularly and often for signs of damage or after hitting a hard
object. Do not continue working with a damaged blade.
◾
Always hold the cultivator with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on
both handles.
◾
Move the cultivator to the work area before starting and start the cultivator at a
lower speed.
Before each use check for damaged and/or worn parts
Check the blades, guard, and front-assist handle and replace any parts that are
cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in any way.
WARNING:
Be careful of the blades and protect your hands from being injured by the blades.
