Overheating protection
If the tiller is blocked by a foreign object or its motor is overloaded, a safety mechanism will automatically turn the
motor off. Release the start lever and wait until the motor cools down (approximately 15 minutes) before starting
the tiller again.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply if you will not be using it, if you are going to wash or repair
it. Do not leave it without supervision.
Do not damage the power cord
Never carry the machine by the power cord or tug on it in order to pull it out of the power socket. Protect the power
cord against heat, oil and sharp edges.
Use the machine properly
Do not use this appliance for other purposes than those for which it is intended (see chapter "Purpose of use").
Do not overestimate your abilities
Lead the tiller only at walking speed. When working, constantly maintain a firm posture and balance.
Lighting
Use the tiller only during daylight or strong artificial lighting.
Store the machine under a roof when not in use
If you are not using the tiller, place it under a roof in a dry location to which children do not have access.
Perform meticulous maintenance of the machine
For the best performance and lowest risk of injury, keep the machine clean and regularly check the extension cord
and replace it when it is damaged. Keep the handles dry, clean and unstained by oil.
Pay attention
Pay attention to what you are doing. Apply common sense. Do not use the tiller if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs or medication.
WARNING:: Do not use the tiller in the vicinity of underground electric or telephone cables, pipes or hoses.
If the tiller hits a foreign object, immediately turn it off, wait until the blades come to a stop and check them
for damage. If necessary, seek out the services of an authorised service centre. If the tiller begins to vibrate
excessively, immediately turn it off and identify the cause. Vibrations usually indicate a problem.
ATTENTION: Danger of cuts! When cleaning or carrying out maintenance on the tiller, please use
protective gloves and take care.
Before starting any type of maintenance or repair work on the tiller, turn it off, wait until the blades come to a stop
and disconnect it from the power supply.
ATTENTION: The blades will not come to a stop immediately after the tiller is turned off.
