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.
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 Being fully covered also helps protect you
from debris and pieces of toxic plants
thrown by spinning tines.
S Stay alert. Do not operate when you are
tired, ill, upset, or under the influence of al-
cohol, drugs, or medication. Watch what
you are doing; 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 re-
moving 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 dealer.
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.
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 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.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnor-
mal swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather
has been linked to blood vessel damage 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 medical attention. An
anti-vibration system does not guarantee the
avoidance of these problems. Users who oper-
ate power tools on a continual and regular basis
must monitor closely their physical condition
and the condition of this unit.
S Avoid heavy contact with solid objects that
might stop the tines. If heavy contact oc-
curs, 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
before resuming operation of the unit.
S Never douse or squirt the attachment with
water or any other liquid. Cleanunit and de-
cals with a damp sponge (see STORAGE).

WARNING: Inspect the area to be cul-
tivated before each use. Remove objects
