How to Insert a Pin in the Shaft Hole of a Black & Decker Cultivator

The Black and Decker 18-volt cultivator is a battery-operated tool designed for gardening and landscaping. Featuring rotating tines that break up and loosen soil, the Black and Decker cultivator is designed for use by homeowners to help reduce the work required to prepare a small bed for planting or remove weeds. Assembly is required before using the cultivator, including assembly of the tines onto the shafts of the cultivator head.

Things You'll Need

• Black and Decker cultivator
• Cultivator tines
• Pin

Instructions

1. Turn the cultivator so that the head is easily accessible.

2. Hold one of the cultivator tines so that it aligns with one of the shafts of the cultivator head.

3. Rotate the tine so that the flat side of the opening in the center of the tine aligns with the flat side of the shaft.

4. Slide the tine completely onto the shaft.

5. Secure the tine in place on the shaft by inserting a pin through the hole in the shaft. Spread the pin apart slightly and insert the straight end of the pin into the hole. Push the pin through the hole until the larger loop end of the pin rests against the pin.
