Important Safety Instructions
!WARNING: When using electric tillers,
basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
WARNING: Read all instructions
FOR ALL TILLERS
1) Avoid Dangerous Environments - Don’t
use tillers in damp or wet locations.
2) Don’t Use In Rain.
3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should
be kept at a distance from work area.
4) Dress Properly - Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery.They can be caught
in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and proper footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face
or dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) Use the Right Tiller - Do not use tiller
for any job except that for which it is
intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the gardening tiller. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
8) Warning -To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
9) Extension Cord - Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk
of disconnection of tiller cord from the
extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors described
in this manual.
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry
plugged-in tiller with nger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
11) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry tiller
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
12) Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades
or cutting edges when picking up or
holding the tiller.
13) Don’t Force Tiller - It will do the job
!WARNING: Read all instructions.

properly and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
14) Don’t Overreach - Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
15) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate tiller
when you are tired.
16) Disconnect Tiller - Disconnect tiller from
the power supply when not in use, before
servicing, when changing accessories
such as blades, and the like.
17) Store Idle Tillers Indoors - When not in
use, tillers should be stored indoors in
dry, and high or locked-up place - out of
reach of children.
18) Maintain Tiller With Care - Keep
cutting edge sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of
injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it
repaired by an authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
19) Check Damaged Parts - Before further
use of the tiller, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.

1) Replacement Parts
When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
2) Polarized Connections
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
tiller has a polarized plug (one Prong is
wider than the other) and will require the
use of a polarized extension cord. The
tiller plug will t into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the plug does not t
fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A
polarized extension cord will require the
use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug
will t into the polarized wall outlet only
one way. If the plug does not t fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician to install the proper wall outlet.
Do not change the equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.

Assembly & Operation

model number 060-1809-8 | contact us: 1.866.523.5218 model number 060-1809-8 | contact us: 1.866.523.5218
13
To use the cord retainer:
1) Fold the extension cord in order to form a tight loop. Push the loop through the rectangular
hole in the retainer. (See Fig. E1)
2) Slide the loop over the retaining clip, and pull down until the cord is secured. (See Fig. E2)
3.PREPARING THE SEED BED
The tiller can be used to break up the garden soil and prepare a seed bed for planting. Plan
ahead to leave enough room between the seed rows to allow for machine cultivating after the
plants have grown.
TILLING SOD
Tilling sod into the soil is not recommended. If sod must be removed to perform application,
then it is suggested to do as follows:
1) Map out the area of sod required to be removed.
2) Cut into 16˝ x 36˝ (40 x 81 cm) sections using a spade shovel or edger at a depth of 3’’ (7.7
cm).
3) Lift the sod from the edges using a shovel, sliding below at the roots.
4) Remove the sod. Carry sod to compost pile or ground that requires ll. Turn the sod upside
down to allow grass to decompose.
5) Once sod layer is removed, begin to till the soil to desired depth.
ATTENTION:
•Move the tiller to the work area prior to starting the motor.
• Hold the tiller rmly while starting. The tines will pull the tiller forward during operation.
Lower the tines slowly with the guide bar.
• By pulling the tiller back towards yourself, the tines will dig deeper and more aggressively.
•To keep tripping, take extra precautions when moving backwards and when pulling the tiller
back toward yourself.
•If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock it side to side until it starts
moving forward again.
•Never pass the tiller over the extension cord. Make sure the cord is always in a safe
position behind you.
• When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline to retain a rm, safe
footing. Do not work on steep slopes.
WORKING HINTS FOR TILLING:
1. With the wheel assembly installed to the desired depth position, roll the tiller to the work area.
2. Plug the tiller into an approved extension cord.
3. Stand behind the tiller, with tines on ground and the work area clean and free of
obstructions.
4. Start the tiller to work.
!IMPORTANT: If weeds, roots, vines or other growth gets collected around the
bottom of the tiller/cultivator it is important to stop tiller/cultivator. Disconnect from
power source and clean tines using a screwdriver or other object which can help remove
debris. If necessary, removes tines to untangle debris from shaft and tines.
