Operating instructions
Always keep a firm grip on the
tool with booth hands and watch
your feet.
The tines may cause an acci-
dent.
Be careful while moving back-
wards – danger of tripping!
Do not touch the gearbox, as it
may become hot during opera-
tion – 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 mo-
tor will cut out immediately if
overloaded. The tool cannot
be used until it has completely
cooled down again.
