Clean the work area and remove all obstacles that may
cause accidents. Check the work area when going to
work and remove all items that could become entangled
in the cutting tool. Also remove all the objects that the
cutting tool can violently eject in the operation.
Do not allow anyone to enter the work perimeter. This
work perimeter must be 15 meters and is a danger
zone.
Never leave this machine unattended.
Be careful not to touch the hot parts of the
machine while the engine is running or
after use, such as exhaust, spark plug or high voltage
cables.
Do not use other accessories this machine except
those recommended by our company since its use
could cause severe damage to the user, people close
to the machine and the machine itself.
Always follow the safety rules given in this manual.
7.1. HOLDING AND GUIDING THE MACHINE
While working always place
yourself behind the machine and
hold it firmly with both hands on
the handles.
Warning! Do not use this rotary tiller with one
hand.
Warning! This rotary tiller could bounce upwards
or jump forwards unexpectedly. If the teeth hit
something hard that is buried in the ground such as
large stones, roots or trunks, if the soil is too hard or
if the ground is frozen. Always firmly hold the machine
with both hands.
This machine clutch is deactivated (disengaged)
by default, to activate the clutch and for the engine
power to transmit to milling cutters, the clutch lever
must be tightened.
The clutch lever has a security block that avoids the
accidental clutching of the machine.
To act on the clutch we firstly must remove the
security blockage moving with one finger the blocking
device (w1) downwards and without letting go,
pressing the clutch lever (w2).
7.2. WORKING WITH THE ROTARY TILLER
Start the machine following the instructions in the
manual.
Milling cutters in motion will pull the machine forward,
you must maintain the appropriate speed more or less
by nailing the spur in the soil.
Slowly move the tiller at the right rhythm so the milling
cutters have time go crumbling the land.
If the tiller sinks and doesn’t go, move the handlebar
left and right until it is released.
When working on slopes it is always slightly more
above the slope so that the machine is always below
you.
