To assemble the handle on the equipment, put the corn
spring over the handle locking knob and firmly screw
them into the handle piercing it through one of the three
handle-retaining-shaft holes. At this time, put the corn
spring over the handle locking knob so that the swollen
surface of the corn spring faces the handle locking knob.
Make sure that the handle is secured after assembling it.
You can adjust the angle of the handle from three angles.
Hold the handle by one hand, and then turn and remove
the handle locking knob. Choose the favorable angle
from one of the three holes, and return the handle
locking knob and tighten it firmly.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the handle locking knob is tightened
firmly, or the handle may fall on you and cause injuries.

OPERATION

Starting forward
WARNING:
Make sure that you hold the handle firmly
•
before starting the tool. When the field is solid,
the tool runs forward suddenly because the blade
does not dig enough into the field, and may cause
injuries.
Push down the handle and place the drag bar into the
field to cultivate. Control the handle up and down, and
adjust the depth of the drag bar in accordance with
solidity of the field. You can dig deeper when you push
down the handle more and place the drag bar deeper.
The tool moves faster and lighter when you lift the
handle and pull the drag bar out from the field.
The tool stops when you release the switch lever.
Changing the tilling width
WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool. Failure to switch off and
remove the battery cartridge may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
Do not forget to lock the outer blade by lock pin
•
and snap pin when you attach it.

The blade can be separated in accordance with the
width for cultivation. To cultivate narrow area, you can
remove both outer side blades. To remove the outer right
side blade, pull out the lock pin and snap pin on the right
side which locks the outer blade, then remove the outer
blade slowly. Mount the lock pin and snap pin on the
inner blade in the original position. Take this procedure
for the outer left side blade. To attach the outer blades,
follow the installation procedure in reverse.
Transporting the tool
WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool. Failure to switch off and
remove the battery cartridge may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
To avoid the tool becoming unstable and lose
•
balance, make sure that the drag bar stays on the
ground when you change the position of the
transport wheel.
When you pull down transport wheel, make sure
•
the tool keeps balance, or the tool may fall down
and cause injuries.
Be careful not to have your thumb and fingers
•
pinched or sustain a bruise due to an impact by the
spring-loaded transport wheel when changing the
transport wheel position.
