Operating Tips
• Before each use, check the product, the batteries, and any
other accessories for damage. Do not use the product if it is
damaged or shows wear.
• Double check that the accessories and attachments are
properly fi tted.
• Always hold the product by its handles. Keep the handles
dry to ensure a secure grip.
• Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear.
Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air vents
may lead to overheating and damage the product.
• Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed
while working by other people entering the working area.
Always let the product come to a complete stop before
averting your attention.
• Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you
can concentrate on the task at hand and have full control
over the product.

WARNING!
In some countries, regulations define
restrictions for use of such products, including the times and
days when operation is permissible. Ask your community for
detailed information and observe these regulations in order to
preserve a peaceful neighborhood and avoid violating any local
ordinances.
Tilling
• Make sure that the work area is clear of stones, sticks, wire,
or other objects that could damage the product or its motor.
• Do not till very wet soil because wet soil tends to stick to
the working tool, preventing proper blade rotation; it could
also cause you to slip and fall.
• Always maintain a firm grip on the product. For better
guidance, apply light pressure to the handles.
m
WARNING!
Do not place hands, feet, or any other part
of the body or clothing near the rotating blades or any other
moving part. The blades begin to rotate forward once the
trigger switch is depressed. The blades continue to rotate until
the trigger switch is released. Failure to avoid contact with the
rotating blades could cause serious personal injury.
• Do not try to till too deeply or force the product into soil that
is extremely hard or resistant.
• Walk the product through the soil at a normal pace and in
as straight a line as possible.
• Till in slightly overlapping rows. To till most effectively,
follow the pattern indicated in Fig. 14. Start by moving the
cultivator up and down in vertical lines, then work
horizontally from left to right. This will keep the rows even
and ensure that all the ground is tilled without missing
any spots.
• Pay special attention when changing direction. Apply
light pressure to the handle in order to lift the blades and
facilitate the turn. Turn the product around using the wheels
as a guide. Gradually release pressure on the handle and
move the blades back to the ground.
