Dig up the area in straight lines. Let the tracks overlap
slightly to not miss any stripes to dig. Only use the ma-
chine 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, immedi-
ately switch off the equipment and wait for the roller to
come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition 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 outlet and
cord, making sure that the power cord always trails in the
already scarifi ed grass so that the equipment 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 fi n-

9. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies with
D E / A T / C H M F M F D E / A T / C H
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 often
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 improp-
erly 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 insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage reg-
ularly. Make sure that the connection cable does not
hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection
cables with the marking „H05VV-F".
The printing of the type designation on the connection
cable is mandatory.

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 hous-
ing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com-
pressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have fi nished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes
checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be replaced
by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
Maintenance
• A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be re-
placed by an authorised expert.
• Take care that all fastening elements (screws, nuts,
etc.) are fi rmly tightened, so that you can work safely
with the Electric Tiller.
• Store the Electric Tiller in a dry place.
• For longer life, all screw-fastened parts, such as
wheels and axles should be cleaned and subse-
quently oiled.
• Regular servicing of the implement not only secures
longer endurance and performance, it also contrib-
utes to an accurate and simple dig up of your bed.
• At the end of the season, carry out a general check
of the Electric Tiller, and remove all residue collected.
Before the start of every season, it is absolutely nec-
essary to check the state of the machine. Contact our
Customer Service if repair work is necessary.
