The utility model relates to a mini-tiller with a safe startup actuator, in particular to a mini-tiller which takes an electric startup single-cylinder diesel as power and is provided with the safe startup actuator capable of being started in a neutral gear and incapable of being started after shifting gears, and belongs to the technical field of mini-tillers. The mini-tiller comprises a travel switch arranged on a transmission assembly, when located at the neutral gear position A, a gear block presses a contact of the travel switch, the circuit where the travel switch is located is connected, a neutral gear indicator lamp lights up, a startup switch is rotated so that the stopping end can be communicated with the starting end of the startup switch, at the moment the circuit where an electric motor is located is communicated with a storage battery, an electromagnetic switch of a startup motor is pressed, and the startup motor works. The mini-tiller is simple, compact and reasonable in structure, due to the facts that in the startup process, a walking component of the mini-miller will not walk forwards, and a working component of the mini-tiller will not rotationally work, accidental injuries possibly happening to a user are avoided, and the safety performance of mini-tiller operation is improved.
