saw them, be alert and turn the cultivator off if
children enter the area.
Children should never be allowed to operate the
cultivator, even under adult supervision.
Thrown object hazard
Objects hit by the rotating tines can be thrown
from the cultivator with great force, and may cause
severe injury.
Before tilling, clear the tilling area of sticks, large
stone, wires, glasses, etc. Till only in daylight.
Pieces thrown from worn or damaged tines can
cause serious injury. Always inspect the tines before
using the cultivator.
Fire and burn hazard

vapour can explode.

gasoline out of reach of children.

stopped.
Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Fuel
vapour or spilled fuel may be ignited.
The engine and exhaust system become very hot
during operation and remain hot for a while after
stopping. Contact with hot engine components can
cause burn injuries and can ignite some materials.
Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system.
Allow the engine to cool before performing
maintenance or storing the cultivator indoors.
Carbon monoxide poisoning hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide; a
colourless and odourless gas. Breathing exhaust
can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to
death
If you run the engine in an area that is confined or
even partially enclosed, the air you breathe could
contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To
keep exhaust gas from building-up, provide
adequate ventilation.
Operation on slope
When tilling on slopes, keep the fuel tank less
than half full to minimize fuel spillage.
Till across the slope (at equally spaced intervals)
rather than up and down it.
Be very careful when changing the direction of the
cultivator on a slope.
Do not use the cultivator on a slope of more than
10°
The maximum safe grade angle shown is for
reference purposes only and should be determined
according to the type of the tool. Before starting the
engine, check that the cultivator is not damaged and
is in good condition. For your safety and the safety
of others, exercise extreme care when using the
cultivator up or down hill.
