Installing the brake spur with wheel (Fig. 2c)
Insert the brake spur (7) with the wheel facing down-
wards into the angle bracket and affix it using the screw
(M6x35) and the wing nut.
Operating the electric tiller
Adjust working width (Fig. 6)
The tiller‘s working width can be adjusted. The unit can
be operated with one, two or three sets of teeth on each
side (see: „Removal and installation of teeth“). To do
this, the set of teeth (X) with the single-sided shaft
must always be installed on the outside!
Note:
For transport, the spur (7) is mounted such that
the wheel is in down position. For working, the spur is
mounted the other way round so that the wheel is in up
position (Fig. 2c).
• Drive the tool to the intended working area prior to
starting the motor.
Adjusting the spur (Fig. 2c)
The position of the spur (7) defines the working depth.
The further down the spur is adjusted the deeper the tool
will work its way into the ground. The correct tilling depth
is key for an optimised result; the correct adjustment may
vary depending on the nature of the soil.
Connection to the mains supply (Fig. 3)
Connect the mains cable with the tool’s plug and secure
it with the strain relief bracket (3) as shown in Fig 3.
Switching on (Fig. 4)
• Use your thumb to press the stop button (I) on the right
side of the handle and then the operating switch (II).
• The stop button (I) is only used here as a release so
that the motor can be started and does not have to be
held once the motor has been started.
• To turn the motor off, simply let go of the switch (II).
Please note: In the course of this operation, the motor
is electrically braked down. As a result of this, a flash
occurs inside the housing of the electric tiller. This has
technical reasons and does not indicate any technical
defects.
Tips
Use the electric tiller for breaking sod, preparing seedbeds,
and for cultivating gardens and flowerbeds. The electric
tiller may also be used to dig small holes for planting
saplings or potted plants.
•
Hold the application firmly while switching it on.
• The tines will pull the tiller forward during operation;
press the guide bar to lower the tines slowly into the
ground.
• If the tiller digs so deep that it remains in one spot,
gently rock the tiller side to side to get it move forward
again.
• For preparing seed beds, we recommend to apply one
of the tilling patterns shown in Fig. 5.
- Tilling Pattern A – Make two passes over the area
to be tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.
• For the power supply line, the use of a protective
switch (circuit-breaker) with a nominal breaking cur-
rent in the range of 10 to 30mA is recommended.
Consult a qualified electrician.
• Never pass the running tool over the extension cable
to which it is connected, as this could cut the cable.
Mark sure that you always know where the cable is.
• Use the special cable holder (strain relief) for the con-
nection of the extension cable.
• Never use the tool when it is raining. Try to prevent it
from getting wet or being exposed to humidity. Do not
leave it outside overnight.
• The power supply cable should be checked regularly
and before each time it is used; make sure that the
cable is not damaged or worn out. If the cable is not
in good condition, do not use the tool; take it to an
authorized service centre instead.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for outdoor
use. Keep it away from the cutting area, from damp,
wet or oily surfaces or surfaces with sharp edges and
also from heat and fuels.
• Use only extension cords that are approved for out-
door use and are not lighter than rubber-sheathed
cables of type H07 RN-F according to DIN/VDE 0282
with a diameter of at least 1.5 sq. mm. They cords
must be splash-proof.
Before starting up
Double insulation
The electric tiller has double insulation. This means that
all external metal parts are insulated from the electric
power supply. This is achieved by introducing an insula-
tion layer between the electrical and mechanical parts.
The double insulation guarantees you the greatest pos-
sible safety.
Overload switch
If the unit is blocked by a foreign body or the motor is
overloaded, it is switched off automatically via a safety
device.
- Release the activation lever. Remove the mains plug!
- Remove the blockage and allow the motor to cool. Re-
place damaged teeth if necessary.
Assembly
(Fig. 2 - 3)
Centre guide bars (Fig. 2a)
Set the centre guide bar (4) onto the lower guide bars
(6) and secure it using the screws (M6 x 45) and wing
nuts supplied.
Handlebar (Fig. 2a)
Connect the handlebar (2) to the centre guide bars (4) us-
ing the screws (M6 x 45) and wing nuts supplied.
Switch installation
(Fig. 1) (if required!)
Install the 2-handed safety switch with 2 screws (3.9 x 19)
on the handlebar.
Use the cable clip(s) to affix the cable to the bar (Fig. 2b).
