into the mounts as shown in Fig. 4d and push
them forward until you hear the batteries engage.
Important!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same
level. Never combine full and half-full batteries.
Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment‘s operating time depends on the
battery with the lower charge level. The two bat-
teries must always be fully charged before use.
Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and
make sure that it latches in place correctly.

6. Operation
Caution!
The device is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent unauthorized use. Immediately before
using the device, insert the safety plug (Fig. 5/
Item 5). Remove the safety plug again when inter-
rupting or terminating your work. To do so, press
the lug (Fig. 5/Item A).
Danger!
To prevent accidental start-up of the ma-
chine, the push-bar is equipped with a two-point
switch (Fig. 6/Item A) which must be pressed
before the lever switch (Fig. 6/Item B) can be
pressed. If the lever switch is released, the machi-
ne switches o
ff
. Repeat this process several times
so that you are sure that your machine functions
properly. Before you perform any repair or mainte-
nance work on the machine, ensure that the hoe
blades are not rotating and that the power supply
is disconnected.
The equipment must be moved into operating
position before you begin with your work. First
pull the locking pin (Fig. 7/Item A) in the direction
of the arrow as shown in Fig. 7 and swing up the
wheel unit until the locking pin engages again in
position B. Proceed in reverse order to move the
equipment into transport position.
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 work along
the incline (not up and down).
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the machine (tripping hazard).
6.2 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 hoed 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 o
ff
the motor promptly when you arrive at
the end of the area you wished to hoe. The motor
must be switched o
ff
when you raise the machine
(for example to change direction).
Keep the underside of the machine clean and re-
move soil deposits. Deposits make it more di
ffi
cult
to start the machine and decrease the working
depth. Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined
areas. The machine must be switched o
ff
and the
mains cable disconnected before you make any
checks on the hoe blades.
Warning!
The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is switched o
ff
. Never att-
empt to manually stop them. In the event that the
rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately
switch o
ff
the machine and wait for the hoe blades
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the con-
dition of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that
are damaged.
