For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines
to pull the tiller forward to the end of your arm’s
reach, then fi rmly pull the tiller back towards
you. By repeatedly allowing the tiller to move
forward and then pulling the tiller back to you,
the tiller will be most effective.

If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one

EXTENSION CORD MANAGEMENT
As with any electric lawn and garden appliance,
you will develop a common sense approach to
keeping the extension cord in a safe and logical
location as you are using the tiller.

A convenient belt clip is included with the
tiller to enable you to attach the extension
cord to your waist and ease cord manage-
ment (see Figure 12). It is recommended that
the belt clip and extension cord be attached
to your right side. Maintain enough slack
between the tiller and the belt clip for easy
maneuvering.

If tilling rows, start with the row that is clos-
est to the household outlet you are using as
an electrical power source. Begin tilling the
row in a direction which will keep the exten-
sion cord on your right side. When the tiller
reaches the end of the row, turn to position
the tiller in the opposite direction for the next
row. Remember, keeping the extension cord
behind you and on your right side will make
it easier to manage the extension cord.
