Clothing

When using the machine, wear close-fitting work clothes,
tough working gloves, ear defenders and non-slip boots with
steel toecaps.
Be extra careful to stay away from rotating parts while working.

Use

Before using the machine, remove all foreign objects from the vicinity. Stones, glass,
branches and similar items can damage the tiller. Also check that bolts on the tiller are
tightened.
Start:
Set the throttle to fully open.
Follow motor start instructions.
Stop:
Set the throttle to minimum gas.
Follow motor stop instructions.
The black handle is used to move the tiller forwards. The red handle is used to move the tiller
backwards. Take care not to operate the tiller in reverse when standing with your back to an
object, for example, a tree or wall. Always exercise extra precaution when backing up or
moving the machine backwards.
The tiller blades pull the machine forwards. In other words, the speed of the machine
depends on how much gas you give it. If you hold the tiller back, the blades dig into the
ground.
If the tiller has a tendency to dig down, there are several things you can do. The right and left
blade set can be changed. This means that the tiller will use the back of the blade to till, and
thus it will not dig down so easily. In addition, side guards can be fitted. This also helps
prevent the tiller from digging down.
The depth skid must always be placed in the top notch if this is the case. See also the section
on adjusting the depth skid.
