facilities, or in agriculture and forestry.
The device is intended for breaking up pre-loosened,
cloddy soil. It also allows peat, fertiliser and compost to
be worked into the soil.
The device is not suitable for breaking up firm soils and
lawns!
Using the tool for any other purpose is considered im-
proper and therefore not approved. The manufacturer is
not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such
improper or not approved use. The user is fully liable for
any risks associated with such use.
Before starting up
Double insulation
The electric tiller has double insulation. This means
that all external metal parts are insulated from the
electric power supply. This is achieved by introducing an
insulation layer between the electrical and mechanical
parts. The double insulation guarantees you the greatest
possible safety.
Overheat protection
If the tool is blocked by a foreign object or if the motor
is overloaded, the motor will be automatically switched
off by the protection device. Release the trigger level
and wait until the motor has cooled down (approx. 15
minutes), then start the tool again.
Assembly
(Fig. 2 - 6)
Mounting the carrying handle
Insert the carrying handle (1) into the guide bar, lower
section (2) and fix it with two of the supplied screws
and nuts.
Guide bar, upper section
Slide the cable relief (3) onto the upper guide bar.
Connect the guide bar, upper section to the guide bar,
lower section using the supplied bolts (4) and swing nuts
(5) on both sides.
To adjust the overall height of the guide bar you can also
assemble the guide bar, upper section to the lower holes
on the guide bar, lower section.
Install the 2-handsafety switch as shown in Fig. 3-6.
Use the two supplied cable clips (6) to fix the cable along
the guide bar.
Operating the electric tiller
Connection to the mains supply (Fig. 7)
Plug the tool's connection cable into the safety switch/
plug combination and secure it with the cable relief.
The loop of the mains cable must be long enough for
the cable relief to slide from one side of the guide bar
to the other.
Switching the tool on (Fig. 8)
• Press the safety lock button A of the switch/plug
combination and then pull the trigger level B against
the bar. The motor will start and the tines will begin to
rotate.
• Hold the trigger lever in this position and release the
safety lock button.
• To stop the tool release the trigger lever; the lever
automatically returns to its initial position.
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
• Move the application to the intended working area
prior to starting the motor.
• 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.
• By pulling the tiller back towards yourself, the tines will
dig deeper and more aggressively.
• For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull
the tiller forward to the end of your arm's reach, then
firmly pull the tiller back towards you. By repeatedly
allowing the tiller to move forward and then pulling it
back to you, the tiller will be most effective.
• 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. 9.
• 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 even
if you move the tool with the motor switched off, e.g.,
over solid ground. Prevent the tines from touching the
ground by carrying the tool by the carrying handle at
the guide bar.
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
