•Children should never be allowed to operate the Intercultivator even under adult
supervision.
Thrown Object Hazard:
•Objects hit by the rotating tines can be thrown from the Intercultivator with great
force and may cause severe injury.
•Before intercultural/weeding operation clear the intercultural/weeding operation
area of sticks, large stone wire glass etc.
•Cultivate only in daylight.
•Pieces thrown from worn or damaged-tines can cause serious injury. Always
inspect the tines before using the Inter-cultivator.
Fire and Burn Hazard:
•Petrol is extremely flammable and petrol vapor can explode.
•Take extreme care when handling petrol. Keep petrol out of reach of children.
•Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
•Allow the engineto cool before refueling. Fuelvapor or spilledfuel may be ignited.
•The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation and remain
hot for a while even after stopping. Contact with hot engine components can
cause burn injuries and can ignite some materials.
•Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system.
•Allow the engine to cool before performing maintenance or storing the
Intercultivator indoors.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard:
•Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide a colorless and odorless gas.
Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
•If you run the engine in an area that is confined or even partially enclosed, the air
you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust
gas from building-up, provide adequate ventilation.
Operation on Slope
•When intercultural/weeding operation on slopes, keep the fuel tank less than half
full to minimize fuel spillage.
•Weeding across the slope (At equally spaced intervals) rather than up and down
it.
•Be very careful when changing the direction of the Intercultivator on a slope.
•Do not use the Intercultivator on a slope for more than 10°.
•The maximum safe grade angle shown is for reference purpose only and should
be determined according to the type of the tool. Beforestarting the engine, check
that the Inter-cultivator is not damaged and in good condition. For your safety and
safety of others, exercise extremecare when using the Inter-cultivator up or down
the hill.
