The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting
your tiller and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over the spectacles
or standard safety glasses.

TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position
of the depth stake and wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below the wheets for
digging.
It serves as a brake to slow the filler's forward
motion to enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also,
the more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the
deeper the tines will dig.
