Keep Shields in Place
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by thrown
objects and to keep you from touching hot engine parts and moving
components. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all shields in
place when the engine is running.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, shorts, sandals, or go barefoot.
Wear gloves, eye protection, a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants made of
heavy material. Keep clothing fastened.
Wear sturdy work boots with good toe protection and nonslip soles.
Turn Engine Off When Not Operating the Tiller
If you need to leave the tiller for any reason, even just to inspect the area
ahead, always turn the engine off.
Slope Operation
• When tilling on slopes, keep the fuel tank less than half full to
minimize fuel spillage.
• Till across the slope (at equally spaced intervals) rather than up and
down it.
• Be very careful when changing the direction of the tiller on a slope.
• Do not use the tiller on a slope of more than 10°. For your safety and
the safety of others, exercise extreme care when using the tiller on a
slope.
Tilling Conditions
Operate the tiller only in daylight or good artificial light. Do not operate
the tiller at night or under poor light conditions.
Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on hard or slippery
surfaces.
