OPERATION

To prepare a garden bed for sowing, it is recommended to use on of the following patterns:
Loosening pattern A – Travel over the loosened area twice, the second time in cross direction to the fi rst run, see
fi g. 8.
Loosening pattern B – Travel over the loosened area twice, the second time overlap the fi rst run, see fi g. 8.
Before use, remove all visible stones or other foreign objects.
Fig. 8
NOTE: Before moving the tiller from one area to another, turn the motor off and wait until the blades stop
rotating. Be careful that the blades do not touch the ground while the tiller is being moved. The blades and the
machine itself may be damaged even when the motor is turned off.

Removing foreign objects

During operation a stone or root may become stuck in the blades or high grass or weeds may become tangled
around the shaft. To clean the blades or the shaft, fi rst release the starting lever, wait until the blades come to
a complete stop and disconnect the tiller from the power supply. Release or remove foreign objects from the blades
or the shaft. To make the removal of tall grass of weeds easier, remove one or several of the blades.

10. MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the power source before performing maintenance.
While performing maintenance use protective gloves.
Before every use, check that the extension cord exhibits no signs of damage or ageing. Replace the power cord
if it is frayed or otherwise damaged. Check the condition of the blades and ensure that all threaded connections
are pulled tight. If the blades are blunt, sharpen or replace them. For support, call an authorised service centre.
Only replace worn out or damaged parts with original spare parts. Parts from a different tiller/cultivator may not
necessarily be compatible, which may result in a dangerous situation.
