Break up clumps and create a fine seedbed.
7. Maintenance: Clean the hoe after each use to prevent soil build-up.
Sharpen the blade as needed.
Store the hoe in a dry place to prevent rust.
8. Storage: Hang the hoe vertically or store it in a shed or garage.
Store the hoe/tiller in a dry place, and if possible, covered to protect it from the elements. Avoid leaving the
hoe in damp conditions to prevent rust.
When not in use, store the garden hoe/tiller in a secure location, out of reach of children.
9. Caution: Be cautious of underground cables or pipes while hoeing to avoid damage.
Contact the manufacturer for assistance if you encounter any issues.
