Do not touch the gearbox, as
it may become hot during op-
eration – danger of burns!
To avoid damage to the
tool:
• Never lift or drag the tool with
the motor running.
• Lift the tool while moving it over
hard surfaces such as tiles or
steps.
Switch the tool off after working with
it and for transport; disconnect from
the mains and wait for the tines to
stop moving.
• Walk the tool through the soil
at normal pace and in a line as
straight as possible.
• Always work away from the
mains socket. Make sure that the
cable is kept well away from the
working area. Hanging the cable
into the belt clip included in the
package will help.
• Overload protection: The
motor will cut out immediately
if overloaded. The tool cannot
be used until it has completely
cooled down again.
Cleaning, maintenance,
storage
Always return the tool to the service
centre for work not described in the
manual. Only use original parts.
Switch the tool off, unplug it from the
mains, and wait for the tines to
stop moving before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning work on
the tool.

vents with a brush or dry cloth.
• Spray or rub biodegradable oil into the
tines.
• Clean soiled grips with a damp cloth.

parts before using it. Check that all nuts,
bolts, and screws are tight.

age and correct fit. Change them if nec-
essary.

age caused in any of the following ways:

tine-wheel pairs can be fitted on the left or
right, as required.
