Child
Safety
l
Keep children indoors and supervised at all times when any outdoor power
equipment is being used nearby. Young children move quickly and are
attracted especially to the tiller and tilling activity.

Never assume children will remain where you last saw them. Be alert and
turn the tiller off if children enter the area.
l
Children should never be allowed to operate the tiller, even under adult
supervision.

can cause serious injury.

Stop the engine and disengage
the tine clutch before inspection
or
maintenance
of tines.

of accidental
starting. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands when cleaning the tines
or when inspecting or replacing the tines.

and may cause serious injury.
