alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating tillers may result
in serious personal injury.
• Do not operate in poor lighting.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Avoid Dangerous Environments - Don’t expose appliance or tiller to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering an appliance or tiller will increase the risk of electric
shock.

• Don't force the tool- It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of
injury at the rate for which it was designed.

lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and
improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
