5. Assembly (Fig. 4-11)
Place the motor unit and the push bars on the
ground in order (Fig. 4). Important. Do not forget to
slide the cable strain-relief clamp (Fig. 6/Item 5) over
the bottom push bar. Slide the bottom push bar on to
the push bar holder and secure the two components
to each other (Fig. 5). Now secure the top push bar
to the bottom push bar (Fig. 6). Install the 2-hand
safety switch as shown in Fig. 7-10. Secure the cable
using the supplied cable securing clips (Fig. 11/A)
6. Starting up
Secure the power cable with the strain-relief clamp
(Fig 12/Item 2).
Important!
To prevent accidental start-up of the
machine, the push-bar (Fig. 13/Item 1) is equipped
with a two-point switch (Fig. 13/Item 2) which must
be pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 13/Item 3)
can be pressed. If the lever switch is released, the
machine switches off. Repeat this process several
times so that you are sure that your machine
functions properly. Before you perform any repair or
maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the
hoe blades are not rotating and that the power
supply is disconnected.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
long handles) is maintained between the machine
and the user. Be especially careful when changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long
trousers. Always till along the incline (not up and
down).
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
machine (tripping hazard).
7. Tips for proper working
Place the machine in front of the area you wish to
hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before you
switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades over
the area.
To achieve cleanly tilled soil always ensure that you
guide the machine in straight lines wherever
possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should
always overlap each other by a few centimeters in
order to avoid bare strips.
Switch off the motor promptly when you arrive at the
end of the area you wished to till. The motor must be
switched off when you raise the machine (for
example to change direction).
Keep the underside of the machine clean and
remove soil deposits. Deposits make it more difficult
to start the machine and decrease the working depth.
Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined areas.
The machine must be switched off and the mains
cable disconnected before you make any checks on
the hoe blades.
Important!
The tiller blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is switched off. Never
attempt to manually stop them. In the event that the
rotating tiller blade strikes an object, immediately
switch off the machine and wait for the tiller blades to
come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition
of the tiller blades. Replace any parts that are
damaged.
Lay the power cable on the ground in front of the
outlet in a figure 8. Work away from the outlet or
cable and ensure that the power cable always trails
in the tilled soil which will prevent the tiller blades
from traveling over the cable.
8. Maintenance, care and storage
Maintenance and cleaning work on the machine as
well as removal of the safety devices may only be
performed when the motor is switched off and the
power cable has been pulled. Worn out or damaged
hoe blades should only be replaced by an authorized
professional (see address on warranty certificate).
Do not clean the tool with running water - and
particularly not with a pressure hose.
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws,
bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the
machine can be safely operated at all times.
Store the device in a dry room. All the metal parts
should be cleaned and then oil to ensure that they
provide a long life. For best results, clean the plastic
parts of the machine with a brush or rag. Do not use
any solvents to remove dirt.
