For the first cultivating each season, |
|
|
| |
it is best to move slowly because dirt |
|
|
| |
is packed down. Subsequent |
|
|
| |
cultivating will be completed more |
|
|
| |
rapidly. Do not attempt to cultivate |
|
|
| |
when the soil is wet - for electrical |
|
|
| |
safety and to prevent clogging of the |
|
|
| |
tines. If you must cultivate under |
|
|
| |
conditions that cause the tines to |
|
|
| |
become clogged, release trigger, |
|
|
| |
wait for tines to come to complete |
|
|
| |
stop! REMOVE BATTERY! |
