Operating Precautions
■ This Shindaiwa tiller/cultivator
attachment is specifically
designed for use on Shindaiwa
PowerBroom and Trimmers.
Installation and/or use on any
other model, brand or type of
power tool is not approved by
Shindaiwa. Attempts to use on
non-approved models can
damage the equipment and
cause accidents, serious injury
or death.
■ Always make sure the Tiller/
Cultivator attachment is
properly installed and firmly
tightened before operation.
■ Never use a cracked or warped
tine: replace it with a serviceable one and make sure it fits
properly.
■ Never smoke or light fires near
the engine. Fuel is very flammable and fire could lead to
serious personal injury or
property damage.
■ Make sure there are no missing
or loose fasteners, and that the
stop switch and throttle controls
are working properly.
WARNING!
■ Make sure there is always
good ventilation when operating this unit. Fumes from
engine exhaust can cause
serious injury or death. Never
run the engine indoors!
■ Before starting the engine,
make sure the tines are not
contacting anything.
■ Always stop the engine
immediately and check for
damage if you strike a foreign
object or if the unit becomes
tangled. Do not operate with
broken or damaged equipment.
■ Stop the engine immediately if
the unit suddenly begins to
vibrate or shake. Inspect for
broken, missing or improperly
installed parts or attachments.
■ Never transport the unit or set
it down with the engine
running. An engine that’s
running could be accidentally
accelerated causing the tines
to rotate.
Always keep the unit as clean as
practical. Keep it free of loose
vegetation, mud, etc.

protection such as goggles
or safety glasses.
Always operate
with both hands
firmly gripping
the machine.
Always make sure the

correctly installed.
Wear appropriate
footwear such as
nonskid boots or
shoes: do not wear
open-toed shoes or
sandals. Never work

Wear close-fitting clothing to protect
your legs and arms. Gloves offer
added protection, and are strongly
recommended. Do not wear clothing or
jewelry that could get caught in
machinery or underbrush. DO NOT
wear shorts while operating this
machine.
Keep a proper footing and do not
overreach–maintain your balance at all
times during operation.
■ Be careful when operating on a
slope or on slippery terrain,
especially during rainy weather.
■ If the tines jam or strike a hard
object, switch the engine OFF,
disconnect the spark plug lead, and
inspect the tines and gearcase for
damage.
■ Never operate the tiller/cultivator
around vines or roots that could
tangle in the tines and cause loss of
control.
■ Do not operate the tiller/cultivator
in standing water.
■ Never operate this unit around
buried electrical cables!
■ Maintain a shallow working angle,
and avoid steep angles of operation. A steep working angle risks
