DOUBLE INSULATION - The tiller/cultivator 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.

• It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to
prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make the
knot as shown, then connect the plug end of the power cord into
the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also be
used to tie two extension cords together.
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
