information contained in this manual.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing
protection during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
Save these instructions and review frequently prior
to use and in instructing others.
WARNING: When using electric gardening
appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS - Before further
use of the product, any part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
condition that may affect its operation. Any part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
For assistance call our customer service help line at
1-800-633-1501.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS - Dont
use this product in rainy, stormy, damp or wet
locations. Do not operate in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres. Motors in these products normally
spark, and the sparks might Ignite fumes.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY - All visitors, children and
pets should stay at a safe distance from the work
area.
DRESS PROPERLY- Dont wear loose clothing or
jewelry and wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. They can be caught in moving parts.
Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
USE SAFETY GLASSES - Wear safety glasses
with side shields or goggles that are marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when operating
this product. Use face or dust mask if environment
is dusty.
DOUBLE INSULATION – The tiller/cultivator has
double insulation. This means that all external met-
al parts are insulated from the electrical supply.
This is achieved by introducing an insulation layer
between electrical and mechanical parts. The
double insulation guarantees you the greatest
possible safety.
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord be sure it is 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
following table 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.
WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-
A, or SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power
cord in a knot to prevent them
from becoming disconnected
during use. Make the knot as
shown, then connect the plug
end of the power cord into the
receptacle end of the extension
cord. This method can also be
used to tie two extension cords
together.
Be aware of the extension cord while operating the
tiller/cultivator. Be careful not to trip on the cord.
Always guide the cord away from the tines.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION - If the tiller/cultivator
is blocked by a foreign object or if the motor is
overloaded, the motor will switch off automatically
by the protection device. Release the trigger lever
and wait for the motor to cool down (approx. 15
minutes) before starting the tiller again.

OPERATING
STARTING:
Make sure the wheel frame is raised before you start
the tiller. To raise the frame, pull out the lock pin (Step
A); rotate the wheel frame upward, so that it snaps
beneath the lock button on the back of the motor
housing (Step B); release the lock pin. The wheel
frame will be locked in place by the lock button.
(See Fig. 5)
Secure the extension cord into the cord retainer. The
loop of the extension cord must be long enough for
the cord retainer to freely slide from one side to the
other. Plug the extension cord into the power cord
plug on the tiller. (See Fig. 6)
Move the tiller/cultivator to the work area prior to
starting the motor.
WARNING: Do not start tiller with any person or
object directly in its path.
Hold the tiller/cultivator firmly while starting. The tines
will pull the tiller/cultivator forward during operation.
Lower the tines slowly into the ground being tilled.
To start the tiller/cultivator, grip the center of the handle
firmly with your left hand. Using your right hand, push
the safety lock button on the switch box and hold to
allow activation of the switch control bail wire.
(See Fig. 7)

Use the tiller/cultivator for breaking sod, preparing
seed beds, and for cultivating gardens and flower
beds. The tiller/cultivator can also dig small holes for
planting saplings or potted plants.
For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to
pull the tiller/cultivator forward to the end of your
arms reach, then firmly pull it back toward yourself.
You will achieve the best results by repeatedly
allowing it to move forward and pulling it back.
By pulling the tiller/cultivator back towards yourself,
the tines will dig deeper and more aggressively.
To prevent tripping, take extra precautions when
moving backwards and when pulling the tiller/
cultivator back toward yourself.
If the tiller/cultivator digs deep enough to stay in one
spot, gently rock it side to side until it starts moving
forward again.
Never pass the tiller/cultivator over the extension
cord. Make sure the cord is always in a safe position
behind you.
When working on inclines always stand diagonally
to the incline to retain a firm, safe footing. Do not
work on extremely steep slopes.
For preparing seed beds, we recommend using one of
these tilling patterns:
Tilling Pattern A Make two passes over area to be
tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.
Tilling Pattern B Make two passes over area to be
tilled, the second overlapping the first.
Before use, remove any visible stones or other
foreign bodies from the area.
CAUTION: Before moving the tiller/cultivator from one
area to another switch off the motor and wait for the
tines to come to a complete stop. Be careful not to let
the tines touch the ground while moving the tiller/
cultivator. The tines as well as the unit itself may be
damaged even if the motor is switched off.
Clearing foreign objects:
During operation a stone or root could become lodged
in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may become
wrapped around the tine shaft. To clear the tines or
tine shaft release the trigger lever, wait for the tines to
come to a complete stop and unplug the tiller/
cultivator. Dislodge or remove the foreign matter from
the tines or tine shaft. To simplify removal of tall grass
or weeds from the tine shaft, remove one or more of
the tines. See Tine Removal and Installation.
OPERATING

Model TC70010
WARNING: Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect power supply.
Before each use check the extension cord for
signs of damage or ageing. Replace the cable if
it is cracked, split or otherwise damaged. Check the
condition of the tines and ensure that all threaded
connections are securely tightened. If the tines
become dull or blunt, sharpen or replace them. Call
our customer service help line at 1-800-633-1501
for assistance.
Once per season lubricate the tines and shaft. At
the end of the season, check the tiller/cultivator for
damage prior to storing. Repair or replace damaged
or broken parts.
CAUTION: Always clean the tiller/cultivator after
each use. Failure to carry out proper cleaning can
result in damage to the tiller/cultivator or result in
poor performance.
Clean the underside of the motor support plate and
housing around the tines with a scrub brush, and a
soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water
mixture. Never use a water hose to clean the till-
er! To remove soil and debris from the transmission
and tines, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth.
Clean the vents on the motor housing and remove
any remaining grass or dirt. Once cleaned, wipe the
tines and shaft dry and apply a light coat of oil to
prevent rust.
Tines maintenance: Worn tines invite poor
performance and overload of the motor. Check tines
before each use. Sharpen or replace the tine
assemblies with new ones when necessary. Call
1-800-633-1501 for assistance.
WARNING: Injury can occur while working on the
tines. Wear protective gloves.
Tine Removal and Installation (Fig. 10)
Lift the Lock Pin rings and remove the Lock Pins at
both ends of the shaft. Remove Tine A and D from
the shaft. Remove the M8x40 bolts and M8 Hex lock
nuts at both ends of the shaft. Remove Tine B and
C from the shaft. Reverse above steps to install
Tines.
Replace worn or damaged parts with original replace-
ment parts only. Parts from another tiller/cultivator may
not fit properly causing an unsafe situation.
Make sure all protective devices are secure and in
good condition. Repair or replace if necessary.
Lubrication (Fig. 11): The tines drive transmission
case has grease installed at the factory. It is not
required that the grease level be checked nor
recommended that grease be added during the first 2
years of use. After the second season of use, follow
the directions as described below:
Drain screw plugs are located on the right side of
transmission housing. Lay the tiller/cultivator on its left
side and clean the transmission of dirt and debris prior
to removing the drain screw plugs. If necessary,
remove tine assemblies to have better access to the
drain screw plug. Use a 5mm hex key to unscrew the
plugs.
Using a squeeze bottle or tube, add approximately 2.4
oz. (70ml) of auto gear lube. Do not overfill. When
completed, reinstall both drain screw plugs into the
transmission.

DOBLE AISLAMIENTO. El rotocultivador tiene
doble aislamiento. Es decir que todas las piezas
metálicas externas están aisladas del suministro
eléctrico. Esto se logra con la introducción de una
capa de aislamiento entre las piezas eléctricas y las
mecánicas. El doble aislamiento le garantiza la
mayor seguridad posible.
CABLE DE EXTENSIÓN. Asegúrese de que el
cable de extensión esté en buenas condiciones.
Además, compruebe que tenga el grosor suficiente
para transportar la corriente que necesitael
producto. Un cable de extensión muy pequeño
provocará una disminución en la tensión de la línea
y, como resultado, una pérdida de potencia y
recalentamiento. La siguiente tabla muestra el
tamo correcto que se debe usar según la longitud
del cable y el amperaje de la etiqueta. Ante la duda,
utilice el siguiente calibre más grueso. Cuanto más
bajo es el mero de calibre, más grueso es el cable.
ADVERTENCIA: Para el exterior, use cables de
extensión rotulados con las siguientes inscripciones:
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTWA o
SJTOWA. Estos cables esn especificados para
usar al aire libre y reducir el riesgo de descarga
eléctrica.
El cable de extensión y el cable de
alimentacn se pueden atar para
evitar que se desconecten durante
el uso. Realice el nudo como se
muestra en la imagen y luego
conecte el enchufe del cable de alimentacn en el
receptáculo del cable de extensión. Este método
también se puede aplicar para unir dos cables de
extensión.
Tenga presente el cable de extensn mientras opera
el rotocultivador. Tenga cuidado de no tropezar con el
cable. Mantenga el cable alejado de las as.
PROTECCIÓN CONTRA RECALENTAMIENTO.
Si el rotocultivador queda bloqueado por un objeto
extraño o si el motor se sobrecarga, el motor se
apagará automáticamente mediante el dispositivo
de protección. Suelte la palanca del gatillo y espere
a que el motor se enfríe (aprox. 15 minutos) antes
de arrancar el rotocultivador nuevamente.
