The power supply cable should be checked regularly and before using it each time, make sure the cable is not damaged or old out. If
the cable is not in good condition, do not use the appliance; take it to an authorized service center instead.

with sharp edges and away from heat and fuels.

Before starting up
Intend use
This appliance is only intended as an electric tiller for aerating lawns and grassy areas in private domestic and hobby gardens.
It is not designed for use in public areas, parks, sports areas, and in agriculture and forestry.
Using the application for any other purpose is considered incorrect and unapproved. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or
injury resulting from such use. The user is entirely responsible for any associated risks.
Double insulation
The leaf blower has double insulation. This means that all external metal parts are insulated from the electrical supply.
This is achieved by introducing an insulation layer between electrical and mechanical parts. The double insulation guarantees you the
greatest possible safety.
Overheat protection
If the application is blocked by a foreign object or if the motor is overloaded, the motor will switch off automatically by the protection
device. Release the trigger level and wait till the motor cool down (approx. 15 minutes) then start application again.

Tips
z
Move the application to the work area prior to starting the motor.
z
Hold the application firmly while switch on.
z
The tines will pull the tiller forward during operation, press the guide bar to lower the tines slowly.

By pulling tiller back towards yourself, the tines will dig deeper and more aggressively.
z
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 back to you, the tiller will be most effective.
