mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
 Remove keys or wrenches before connecting the tiller to an air supply, power supply, or turning
on the tiller. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tiller may cause personal
injury.
 Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
 Do not force the tiller. Products are safer and do a better when used in the manner for which they
are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
 Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the tiller will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
tiller with a damaged part.
 Store the tiller when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the tiller for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your tiller.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure
than the tool itself.
 Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the tiller without the guards in place.
