Assembly
(Fig. 2 - 3)
Attaching the wheel mount shaft (Fig. 2)
Insert the wheel mount shaft (9) in the mount on the
motor housing (8) and secure the shaft with the bolt (a)
and nut (b) included with delivery.
Attaching the wheels (Fig. 2)
Set the brake spur (14) with the wheels (12) facing
downwards into the wheel mount shaft (9) and secure
these with the spring bolts (13).
Centre guide bars (Fig. 3)
Set the centre guide bar (6) onto the lower guide bars
(8) and secure it using two of the bolts and nuts included
with delivery.
Handlebars (Fig. 3)
Connect the handlebar (5) to the centre guide bars (6)
using the bolts and wing nuts included in delivery.
Operating the electric tiller
Connection to the mains supply (Fig. 4)
Connect the mains cable with the tool's plug and secure
it with the strain relief bracket as shown in Fig 4.
Switching on (Fig. 4)
• Use your thumb to press the stop button (2) on the left
side of the handle and then the operating switch (1).
• The stop button (2) is only used here as a release so
that the motor can be started and does not have to be
held once the motor has been started.
• To turn the motor off, simply let go of the switch (1).
Please note: In the course of this operation, the motor
is electrically braked down. As a result of this, a flash
occurs inside the housing of the electric tiller. This has
technical reasons and does not indicate any technical
defects.
Tips
Note: For transport, the spur (14) is mounted such that
the wheel is in down position. For working, the spur is
mounted the other way round so that the wheel is in up
position.
• Drive the tool to the intended working area prior to
starting the motor.
Adjusting the spur (Fig. 5)
The position of the spur (14) defines the working
depth. The further down the spur is adjusted the
deeper the tool will work its way into the ground. The
correct tilling depth is key for an optimised result; the
correct adjustment may vary depending on the nature
of the soil.
• Hold the application firmly while switching it on.
• The tines will pull the tiller forward during operation;
press the guide bar to lower the tines slowly into the
ground.
• If the tiller digs so deep that it remains in one spot,
gently rock the tiller side to side to get it move forward
again.
• For preparing seed beds, we recommend to apply one
of the tilling patterns shown in Fig. 6.
- Tilling Pattern A – Make two passes over the area
to be tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.
- Tilling Pattern B – Make two passes over the 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 rotate at top speed; do not work in
such a manner as to overload the tool.
• Never pass the tiller over the extension cord; make
sure the cord is always in a safe position behind your
back.
• When working on inclines, always stand diagonally to
the incline in a sturdy, safe position. Do not work on
extremely steep slopes.
Transport
Attention! Before transporting the tool, switch
off the motor.
The tines and the tool as such may be damaged if you
move the tool with the motor switched off, e.g., over solid
ground. Make sure that the tines do not touch the ground.
Use the wheel to move the tool. To do so, mount the spur
as shown in Fig. 2.
Maintenance and storage
Before carrying out any maintenance opera-
tions, cut off the electric power supply by dis-
connecting the plug from the extension cable.
Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root may become lodged
in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may wrap 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 the removal of tall grass or weeds that are
wrapped around the tine shaft, you may remove one
or more of the tines from the tine shaft. See the Tines
Removal and Installation section in the manual.
Prior to each time the tool is used
• Check the connecting cable for signs of damage
or ageing (wear and tear). Replace the cable if it is
cracked, split or otherwise damaged.
• Check the condition of the cutting cylinder, and ensure
that all threaded connections are securely tightened.
• If the tines are blunt, take it to a specialist workshop for
repair, if necessary.
Once per season
• Lubricate the tines and shaft.
• At the end of the season, have the tool checked and
serviced in a specialist workshop.
