CIRCUIT BREAKER
PROTECTION
This tiller is equipped with a circuit breaker
located in the top of the switch housing (see
Figure 10). The circuit breaker provides
over-current protection to the tiller motor
should the tines become jammed or locked
by a stone, root, or other obstruction.
If the circuit breaker should trip during use,
the white button will pop up out of the case
and the electric motor and the tines will stop
rotating.
Resetting the Breaker
1. Fully release the trigger lever.
2. Unplug the tiller power cord from the
extension cord.
3. Dislodge or remove any obstacles from
the tines which caused the tines to jam.
WARNING: Always unplug the
tiller before placing hands near
the tines. Always wear gloves to
protect your hands from the sharp
edges of the tines.
4. Press the reset button on the breaker
back into the housing (see Figure 10).
The button should stay depressed when
released. Plug the tiller power cord
back into the extension cord.
5. Firmly grasp the tiller grip area on the
handlebar, and resume tilling.

OPERATING TILLER
EXTENSION CORDS
Always use proper extension cords with this
tiller. Use only extension cords marked for
outdoor use. The cord must be marked with
suffix W or W-A following the cord type
designations.
Example:
SJTW-A or SJTW.
Use proper sized cord with this tiller. Cord
must be heavy enough to carry current
needed. An undersized cord will cause volt-
age drop at tiller. Tiller will lose power and
overheat. Follow cord size requirements
listed below.
Cord Length AWG Cord Size
25 feet 16 AWG
50 feet 16 AWG
100 feet 14 AWG
150 feet 12 AWG
Keep cord away from rotating tines. Inspect
cord often. Replace damaged cords.
RETAINING EXTENSION
CORD
The switch housing has an extension cord
hitch made from a series of alternating hooks
(see Figure 9). This feature can be used to
secure the receptacle end of the extension
cord to the tiller handle to prevent accidental
disconnection from the power cord. A belt
clip is also included to help manage the cord
by keeping it at the users side and away from
the tiller tines.
Securing Extension Cord to
Tiller
1. Start at approximately 6 inches from
receptacle end of extension cord and
weave the cord between the hooks on
the switch housing as shown in Figure
9, so that the receptacle is hanging be-
low the switch housing.
2. Begin weaving the extension cord on
top of the bottom hook and alternate
under and over hooks so that the cord
is ultimately on top of the last hook.
3. Plug the tiller power cord into the ex-
tension cord.
