WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING TILLER 1. Do not operate tiller near underground electric cables, telephone lines, pipes, or hoses. If in doubt contact your utility company to locate underground services. You may also contact the National One Call referral number, 1-888258- 0808, for local contact information concerning underground utilities. 2. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tiller when you are tired. 3. Only well-instructed adults should operate tiller. Never allow children to operate tiller. 4. Do not use the tiller for any job except that for which it is intended. 5. Use only electrical voltage noted on model plate of tiller. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. 6. Extension Cord - Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection of tiller cord from the extension cord during operation use the cord hitch and belt clip described in this manual.
