Tilling Pattern A – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.
Tilling Pattern B – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second overlapping the first.

To prevent tripping take particular care when moving backwards and when pulling the tiller.
z
Always let the tines rotates at top speed; do not work in such a way as to overload the appliance.

The tines and the unit maybe damaged even if you move the application with the motor switched off, e.g. over solid ground. Prevent the
tines from touching the ground by carrying out the application by its guide bar.
Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root could become lodged in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may become wrapped around the tine shaft.
To clear the tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the tiller, and dislodge or remove any obstacles from the tines or tine shaft.
To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are wrapped around the tine shaft, remove one or more of the tines from the tine shaft. See
