TILLER SAFETY
Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
Keep the tiller at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
Keep flammable materials away from the tiller.
The muffer becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for
a while after stopping the engine.
Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool
before storing the tiller indoors.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Allow the engine to cool if the tiller has been in operation. Refuel only
outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF. Do not overfill
the fuel tank. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and
sparks away. Always store gasoline in an approved container. Make
sure that any spilled fuel has bees wiped up before starting the engine.
Avoid Rotating Tines
Rotating tines can cause serious cuts and even amputate body parts.
Keep away from the tine area whenever the engine is running. If you
need to work around the tines to clear a object accumulation or for any
other reason, always shut off the engine. Disconnect the spark plug
cap, and wear heavy gloves when you need to clean the tine area or
handle the tines.
Clear Tilling Area
A tine can throw rocks and other objects with enough force to cause
serious injury. Before tilling, carefully inspect the area and remove all
stones, sticks, bones, nails, pieces of wire, and other loose objects. Be
aware if children are in the area; stop the tiller. Never operate the tines
over gravel.
