8. Operation
Start and stop the implement (Pic. 8)
To prevent an accidental start-up of the implement,
the throttle handle (1a) is equipped with a safety re-
lease switch (12) which must be pressed before the
On/Off switch (13) can be pressed. If the On/Off
switch is released, the equipment switches off.
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before you
perform any repair or maintenance work on the ma-
chine, ensure that the cutting unit is not rotating and
that the power supply is disconnected.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
long handles) is maintained between the user and
the housing. Be especially careful when digging and
changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a
solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers. Always dig along the incline (not up
and down).
For safety reasons, the Electric Tiller may not be
used to dig up inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees. Use special caution when backing up and
pulling the implement (tripping hazard)!
Tips for proper working
Always guide the machine slowly and wisely forward.
Dig up the area in straight lines. Let the tracks overlap
slightly to not miss any stripes to dig. Only use the
machine to dig up already loosened soil.
Danger!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the motor is
switched off. Never attempt to stop the roller. In the
event that the rotating roller strikes an object, imme-
diately switch off the equipment and wait for the roller
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condi-
tion of the roller. Replace any parts that are damaged.
Lay the power cord on the ground in loops in front
of the power outlet. Work away from the power out-
let and cord, making sure that the power cord always
trails in the already scarified grass so that the equip-
ment does not travel over the cord.
Transport and storage (Pic. 10-11)
Alway pull out the power cord before transporting!
Open the wing nuts (10) until you can fold the handles
(1a/b) forward. Attention! Danger of crushing your fin-
gers. Now you can transport your machine with the
transport handle (8). So you can storage the machine
too.

9. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as
the extension cable used must also comply with
these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insula-
tion damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the
applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use con-
nection cables with the marking „H05VV-F".
The printing of the type designation on the connec-
tion cable is mandatory.
AC motor
The mains voltage must be 230 V~
The mains voltage must comply with the specifica-
tions on the motor nameplate.
Extension cables up to 25 m in length must have a
cross section of at least 1,5 mm² , above 25 m at
least 2,5 mm²
Connections and repairs of electrical equipment
may only be carried out by an electrician.
Please provide the following information in the event
of any enquiries:
• Type of current for the motor
• Machine data - type plate
• Motor data - type plate

10. Cleaning and maintenance

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
