Cordless Tiller/Cultivator Operation
TWO SPEEDS SWITCH
This product features a switch that allows operation
at one of two, preset speeds. The switch is located
on the back of the motor facing the operator. When
set on low speed (I) the digging tines will move
more slowly and deliberately than when set on
high speed (II). Select speed levels based upon
preference relating to job requirements. The speed
switch should only be engaged when the tiller/
cultivator is turned off and in a stationary position.
