SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Do not use near underground electric cables, telephone lines, pipes, or hoses. If in doubt, contact your utility or telephone company to locate underground services.
Rotating tines can cause severe injury, keep all body parts away from rotating tines.
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the machine towards you.
Always be sure of your footing; keep a firm hold on the handles and walk; never run.
If the tiller should start to vibrate abnormally or become noisy, stop the motor and check immediately for the cause. Abnormal noise is generally a warning of trou- ble.
Keep all fasteners tight to be sure the tiller is in safe work- ing condition.
Check that the hitch pins are fully inserted on the tine shaft before each use.
Do not operate power equipment after it has been dropped or damaged. Return it to your nearest authorized servicing dealer for inspection and repair.
Stop the engine or motor whenever you leave the tiller, or when making any repairs or inspections.
Make sure all proper guards and other safety devices are properly and securely attached before using this product.
Be extremely careful when tilling in hard ground. The tines could catch in the ground and propel the tiller forward.

Inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all foreign objects.
Keep hands, feet, and other body parts away from rotat- ing parts.
