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. 6.

Loosening pattern B – Travel over the loosened area twice, the second time overlap the ﬁ rst run, see ﬁ g. 6.

Before use, remove all visible stones or other foreign objects.

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.

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.

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.

Check that all safety mechanisms are safe and in good condition. Repair or replace it if necessary. Lubricate the

blades and shaft once per season. Before putting the tiller away at the end of the season, check that it is not dam-

aged. Repair or replace damaged parts.

ATTENTION: Clean the tiller after every use. Neglecting proper cleaning may result in damage to the tiller

or a reduction in its performance. Clean the bottom motor bearer plate and the blade cover with a brush and

a soft wiping cloth dipped in a soap and water solution.

Never use a hose with water to clean the tiller! Never wash the tiller under running water,

in particular with pressurised water.
