clothing or jewelry. Wear eye protection. Wear safety
shoes. Wear heavy, long pants, boots, and gloves. Do
not wear short pants or sandals or go barefoot.Hold
the cultivator with one hand on the rear handle and
the other hand on the front-assist handle. Keep a firm
grip with both hands while operating the cultivator.

position, with the rear handle about hip height.

You can work by 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.

handle and replace any parts that are cracked,
warped, bent, or damaged in any way.
