OPERATION
THE BATTERY MUST BE FULLY CHARGED BEFORE THE FIRST USE OF THE PRODUCT. SEE STARTING & STOPPING
WARNING
The tines start rotating immediately after the tiller is switched on. Keep hands and feet away from the tines.
To switch ON, hold the tiller firmly with two hands. One hand should be placed on the top trigger hand, with
your other hand firmly holding the front handle. Always ensure the tines are not touching any surface when
starting the machine.
Press the safety button with your thumb, while squeezing the trigger with your fingers. The tines will then
rotate. Once the tiller has started, you can release the safety button, whilst still holding the trigger.
To switch OFF, simply release the trigger.
USAGE
Before use, remove any visible stones or other foreign bodies from the area.
Use the tiller for breaking sod, preparing seed beds and for cultivating gardens and flower beds. The
tiller can also dig small holes for planting saplings or potted plants.
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 it back toward yourself. You will achieve the best results by repeatedly allowing it to move forward
and pulling it back. By pulling the tiller back towards yourself, the tines will dig deeper and more aggressively.
WARNING
To prevent tripping, take extra precautions when moving backwards and when pulling the tiller back towards
yourself.
If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock it side to side until it starts moving forward again.
When working on inclines, always stand diagonally to the incline to retain a firm, safe footing. Do not work on
extremely steep slopes.
