To use a rototiller, first start it. Then move it out to the area to be tilled. Set the tines on the ground to be tilled and engage the tines. It should dig right in. On a self propelled rear tine tiller, all you have to do is follow along behind it keeping a downward pressure on the handles so that the tines stay in the soil. On a mid or front tine tiller that is not self propelled, you have to push the tiller forward and keeping a downward pressure on it so it digs in, but not too much pressure or will it dig it self into a hole. With all tillers, but paticulary smaller front or mid tine tillers, keep an eye out for rocks or sticks or roots or clay soil, this will cause the tiller to jump if it strikes it and it can be possible to lose control of it with smaller tillers. Sticks may tangle the tines in small tillers. Always keep your feet and hands away from the tines unless the engine is turned off.
