6. Operation
Caution!
The device is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent unauthorized use. Immediately before
using the device, insert the safety plug (Fig. 5/
Item 5). Remove the safety plug again when inter-
rupting or terminating your work. To do so, press
the lug (Fig. 5/Item A).
Danger! To prevent accidental start-up of the ma-
chine, the push-bar is equipped with a two-point
switch (Fig. 10/Item A) which must be pressed
before the lever switch (Fig. 10/Item B) can be
pressed. If the lever switch is released, the machi-
ne switches off .
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that your machine functions 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 disconnec-
ted.
The equipment must be moved into operating
position before you begin with your work. First
pull the locking pin (Fig. 7/Item A) in the direction
of the arrow as shown in Fig. 7 and swing up the
wheel unit until the locking pin engages again in
position B. Proceed in reverse order to move the
equipment into transport position.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the long handles) is maintained between the
machine and the user. Be especially careful
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 (tripping hazard).
Tips for proper working
Place the machine in front of the area you wish to
hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before

GB
you switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades
over the area.
To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that
you guide the machine 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).
Keep the underside of the machine clean and re-
move soil deposits. Deposits make it more diffi cult
to start the machine and decrease the working
depth. Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined
areas. The machine must be switched off and the
mains cable disconnected before you make any
checks on the hoe blades.
Warning!
The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is switched off . Never att-
empt to manually stop them. In the event that the
rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately
switch off the machine and wait for the hoe blades
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the con-
dition of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that
are damaged.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the safety plug before making ad-
justments or carrying out maintenance, cleaning
and repair work on the equipment. Make sure that
the blade shaft is not turning.
7.1 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.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
