S Secure hair above shoulder length. Secure  
or remove loose clothing or clothing with  
loosely hanging ties, straps, tassels, etc.  
They can be caught in moving parts.  
S Being fully covered also helps protect you  
from debris and pieces of toxic plants thrown  
by spinning tines.  
install the proper wall outlet. Do not change  
the equipment plug, extension cord recep-  
tacle, or extension cord plug in any way.  
S To reduce risk of electrical shock, use exten-  
sion cords specifically marked as suitable for  
outdoor appliances having electrical rating not  
less than the rating of unit. Cord must be  
marked with suffix “W--A” (in Canada “W”).  
Make sure your extension cord is in good  
condition. Inspect extension cord before use  
and replace if damaged. Do not use a dam-  
aged cord. Cord insulation must be intact with  
no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors  
must be undamaged. The extension cord  
used to reach the power source must be  
heavy enough to carry current from the power  
source the full length of the extension cord to  
the unit. An undersized extension cord will  
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. If in doubt, use the  
next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge  
number, the heavier the cord.  
S Stay alert. Do not operate when you are tired,  
ill, upset, or under the influence of alcohol,  
drugs, or medication. Watch what you are do-  
ing; use common sense.  
S Wear hearing protection.  
S Never start or run inside a closed room or  
building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill.  
S Keep handles free of oil and fuel.  
S Never operate the cultivator without the tine  
guard in place and properly secured.  
FUEL SAFETY (for gas powerheads)  
S Mix and pour fuel outdoors.  
S Keep away from sparks or flames.  
S Use a container approved for fuel.  
S Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or  
the powerhead.  
S Do not use multiple cords.  
S Do not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by the  
extension cord or yank extension cord to dis-  
connect unit. To unplug, grasp the plug, not  
the cord. Do not use cord as a handle, close a  
door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges  
or corners. Do not expose cords to heat, oil,  
or water.  
S Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up all fuel spills  
before starting the powerhead.  
S Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from  
fueling site before starting powerhead engine.  
S Stop engine and allow to cool before remov-  
ing fuel cap.  
S Remove fuel cap slowly.  
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator and  
obstacles at all times.  
S Store unit and fuel in an area where fuel va-  
pors cannot reach sparks or open flames  
from water heaters, electric motors or  
switches, furnaces, etc.  
S Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to re-  
cessed plug as shown in this manual to pre-  
vent damage to unit and/or extension cord  
and to reduce the possibility of the extension  
cord disconnecting from the unit during op-  
eration.  
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric  
powerheads)  
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-  
lation and connectors on the powerhead and  
extension cord before each use. If there is  
any damage, do not use until damage is re-  
paired by your authorized service dealer.  
S Do not use the powerhead if the switch does  
not turn the unit on and off properly. Have the  
unit repaired by your authorized service deal-  
er.  
S Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If pow-  
erhead is not working as it should, has been  
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped  
into water, return it to your authorized service  
dealer for repair.  
S Avoid unintentional starting of the unit. Never  
carry unit with your finger on the switch. Be  
sure the switch is in the OFF position and  
never touch the switch when connecting ex-  
tension cord.  
S Unplug the unit from the power source when  
not in use, before servicing, and when chang-  
ing accessories and/or attachments.  
S Avoid any body contact with any grounded  
conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to  
avoid the possibility of electric shock.  
S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)  
protection should be provided on the circuit or  
outlet to be used for the powerhead. Recep-  
tacles are available having built-in GFCI  
protection and may be used for this measure  
of safety.  
WARNING: Avoid a dangerous envi-  
ronment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  
do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or  
around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not  
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the pos-  
sibility of electrical shock. Do not use on wet  
surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or  
unit with wet hands.  
S Use only a voltage supply as shown on the  
nameplate of the unit.  
S Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in  
presence of flammable liquids or gases to  
avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or caus-  
ing damage to unit.  
S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in  
unventilated areas or where dust or explosive  
vapors can build up.  
S To reduce the risk of electric shock, the pow-  
erhead may have a polarized plug (one blade  
is wider than the other); if so, it will require the  
use of a polarized extension cord. The ap-  
pliance plug will fit into a polarized extension  
cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully  
into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If  
the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polar-  
ized extension cord. A polarized extension  
cord will require the use of a polarized wall  
outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall  
outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully  
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

S Hold the unit firmly with both hands.  
S Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-  
reach or stand on unstable surfaces.  
S Look behind and use care when backing up.  
S Keep all parts of your body away from the  
tines and muffler.  
UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY  
WARNING: Disconnect powerhead  
spark plug (or disconnect powerhead from pow-  
er source) before performing maintenance.

damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make  
sure all fasteners are in place and securely  
fastened.

storing or transporting it in a vehicle.  
S Store unit and fuel in area where fuel vapors  
cannot reach sparks or open flames from wa-  
ter heaters, electric motors or switches, fur-  
naces, etc.  
S Store attachment so tines cannot accidentally  
cause injury.  
S Store attachment indoors, out of reach of chil-  
dren.  
S Throw away tines that are bent, warped,  
cracked, broken, or damaged in any other  
way. Replace parts that are cracked, chipped,  
or damaged before using the unit.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-  
tions through prolonged use of gasoline pow-  
ered hand tools could cause blood vessel or  
nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and  
joints of people prone to circulation disorders  
or abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold  
weather has beenlinked to blood vesseldam-  
age in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms  
occur such as numbness, pain, loss of  
strength, change in skin color or texture, or  
loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,  
discontinue the use of this tool and seek med-  
ical attention. An anti-vibration system does  
not guarantee the avoidance of these prob-  
lems. Users who operate power tools on a  
continual and regular basis must monitor  
closely their physical condition and the condi-  
tion of this unit.  
S Never start the unit with the clutch housing re-  
moved. The clutch can fly off and cause seri-  
ous injury.  
S Avoid heavy contact with solid objects that  
might stop the tines. If heavy contact occurs,  
stop the unit and inspect for damage.  
S If tines strike a foreign object, follow these  
steps: stop unit and disconnect spark plug  
wire (or disconnect from power source), in-  
spect for damage, and repair any damage be-  
fore resuming operation of the unit.  
S Never douse or squirt the attachment with  
water or any other liquid. Clean unit and de-  
cals with a damp sponge (see STORAGE).  
CULTIVATING SAFETY  
WARNING: Inspect the area to be  
cultivated before each use. Remove objects  
(rocks, vines, branches, broken glass, nails,
