CAUTION:
Tines are sharp.

gloves or other protection when han-
dling tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig
more shallow+ Most important,worn tines cannot chop and
shred organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as
good tines+ A tine this worn needs to be replaced.
