OPERATION (FIG. G, H)
WARNING:
Make sure that other persons and pets are at
least 20 feet away.
• Hold tool as shown in figure G.
• Lift unit out of soil.
• Slide lock off button (15) (Fig. H).
• Pull switch trigger (16). (Fig. H)
For the first cultivating each season,
it is best to move slowly because dirt
is packed down. Subsequent
cultivating will be completed more
rapidly. Do not attempt to cultivate
when the soil is wet - for electrical
safety and to prevent clogging of the
tines. If you must cultivate under
conditions that cause the tines to
become clogged, release trigger,
wait for tines to come to complete
stop! REMOVE BATTERY!
Remove clogged material with a
stick or screwdriver. To continue to
operate the tool in a clogged condition
will seriously overload the motor.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with a
built in clutching mechanism used to
prevent permanent damage to the
unit due to an obstruction in the tines
or overloaded working conditions. If
the clutch is engaged, the unit will
make a loud clicking sound. This
noise will persist until the obstruction
or overload condition is removed.
Remove battery prior to attempting
to remove obstructions from tines.
The clutch mechanism is not adjustable by the user.
