- Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear appropriate safety glasses, sturdy footwear, and gloves when operating the tiller. Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in moving parts.

5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your electric tiller.
- Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, inspect the tiller for any loose parts, damaged tines, or frayed power cords. Ensure all fasteners are tight.
- Connect Power: Plug the tiller's power cord into a suitable outdoor-rated extension cord, ensuring the extension cord is rated for the tiller's power requirements (1050W). The tiller has a 10m cable length for extended reach.
- Starting the Tiller: With a firm grip on both D-grip handles, press and hold the safety button (if present) and then squeeze the trigger switch. The tines will begin to rotate.
- Tilling Technique: Guide the tiller slowly and steadily over the soil. Allow the tines to penetrate the ground. For best results, make overlapping passes. The tiller can cultivate a width of 32cm and a depth of up to 22cm. Do not force the tiller; let the machine do the work.
- Stopping the Tiller: Release the trigger switch to stop the tines. Disconnect the tiller from the power supply immediately after use and before any adjustments or cleaning.

- Inspection: Periodically inspect the tines for wear or damage. Check the power cord for cuts, abrasions, or exposed wires. Ensure all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
