OPERATION The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tiller and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses. Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing. HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel and oil or attempting to start engine. STOPPING (See Fig. 5) TINES 1.

TINE OPERATION (See Fig. 5) • Squeeze tine control to handle. TILLING The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position of the depth stake and wheel height.
