6. Operation
6.1 Starting up
Connect the machine's power supply cable to the plug (Fig. 12/Item
6c) and secure the power cable with the strain-relief clamp (Fig 12/
Item 5).
Caution! To prevent accidental start-up of the machine, the push-bar
is equipped with a two-point switch (Fig. 13/Item 6a) which must be
pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 13/Item 6b) can be pressed. If
the lever switch is released, the machine switches off . Repeat this
process several times so that you are sure that your machine func-
tions properly. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on
the machine, ensure that the hoe blades are not rotating and that the
power supply is disconnected.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long handles) is
maintained between the machine and the user. Be especially care-
ful when changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always
work along the incline (not up and down).

Use special caution when backing up and pulling the machine (trip-
ping hazard).
6.2 Tips for proper working
Place the machine in front of the area you wish to hoe and hold it se-
curely on the push bar before you switch on the machine. Guide the
hoe blades over the area.
To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that you guide the machi-
ne in straight lines wherever possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths
should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to
avoid bare strips.
Switch off the motor promptly when you arrive at the end of the area
you wished to hoe. The motor must be switched off when you raise
the machine (for example to change direction).
