 For deeper dig, best results operate at reduced a height, and take several
cultivation especially when the ground is very hard or rough.
 For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the tiller forward to the
end of your arm's reach, then firmly pull the tiller back towards you. By
repeatedly allowing the tiller to move forward and then pulling back to you, the
tiller will be most effective.
 If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock the tiller side to side
to start the tiller moving forward again.
 For preparing seed bed, we recommend using one of the tilling patterns shown in
Fig. 6.
Tilling Pattern A – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second at a right angle
to the first.
Tilling Pattern B – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second overlapping the
first.
 To prevent tripping take particular care when moving backwards and when
pulling the tiller.
 Always let the tines rotates at top speed; do not work in such a way as to overload
the appliance.
 Never pass the tiller over the extension cord; make sure it is always in a safe
position behind your back.
 Tilling only when it is suitable to do so. Frozen or waterlogged ground, if
cultivated, can cause poor soil moisture movement.
 Tilling at a different depth each season to stop the possibility of 'panning' in the
sub soil.
 When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline in a sturdy, safe
stance. Do not work on extremely steep slopes.
Transport
Caution! Before transporting the appliance, switch off the motor.
The tines and the unit maybe damaged even if you move the appliance with the motor
switched off, e.g. over solid ground. Prevent the tines from touching the ground by
carrying out the appliance by its guide bar, or with the additional wheels in correct
transport position.
Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root could become lodged in the tines, or tall grass or
weeds may become wrapped around the tine shaft.
To clear the tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the tiller, and dislodge or remove
any obstacles from the tines or tine shaft.
To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are wrapped around the tine shaft, remove
one or more of the tines from the tine shaft. See Tine Removal and Installation in the
manual.
Maintenance and Storage
Before carrying out any maintenance operations, cut off the electric power
supply by disconnecting the plug from the extension cable.
Prior to each time the appliance is used
 Check the connecting cable for signs of damage or ageing. Replace the cable if it
is cracked, split or otherwise damaged.
