Tips
Do not start motor before machine is at area to be worked. Always hold machine securely
in both hands. Check extension cable is behind you to avoid cutting it.
The blades will propel the machine forwards. Allow the blades to slowly sink into the soil.
Remember to adjust the wheel yoke before use. When cutting deeply, the most effective
method is to allow the blades to propel the machine forwards for an
arm’s length. Pull the
machine back towards you. Allow it to run forwards again. Blades must always operate at
maximum speed. Avoid overloading If the blades get buried, rock machine from side to
side while holding it back, until it comes free.
6. Blade
If the blades are worn or broken, they can
be replaced. Failure to maintain the
blades can cause poor results when culti-
vating, or overload the motor. Always
wear gloves when working near the
blades.
Blades can only be replaced as a set.
When changing blades, remove the first
split pin and the outer blade, followed by
the inner split pin to remove the inner
blade (fig. 6).
