Your Shindaiwa Tiller/Cultivator Tool's 

reversible tines allow you to quickly 

change from operation as a cultiva-

tor-weeder to an aggressive tiller for 

quickly digging a new garden or land-

scaping plot. For best operation in 

either mode:

the area to be tilled at least 

24 hours before your planned tilling 

operation; then water again about 3 

hours before the actual tilling.
PULL 

the tiller slowly toward you 

when tilling or cultivating. 

■

 (up to 

25 cm/10” depth) use full throttle 

while slowly rocking the tiller back 

and forth over the work area.
SHALLOW WEEDING 

■

in soft soils 

is easiest when the tines are in-

stalled in the cultivating configura-

tion, with additional depth available 

by using a gentle rocking motion as 

described above.
HEAVY WEEDS 

■

or weeding in 

harder soils may require reversing 

the tines to the more aggressive til-

ler configuration.

For detailed instructions on general 

safety procedures, fueling, starting, 

and stopping the powerhead assembly, 

refer to the appropriate Owner’s Man-

ual for your machine.
