Assembly
Attaching the bar (Fig. 2)
Mount the connection bar (6) to bar lower section (8) and
fix it by two supplied screws and swing nuts. Attach the
handle bar (5) to the connection bar (6) and fix it by two
supplied screws and swing nuts.
Tighten all screws and nuts completely. Using supplied
two cable clips to hold cable in order.
Installing the brake spur with wheel (Fig. 6)
Insert the brake spur (12) with the wheel facing down-
wards into the angle bracket and affix it using the screw
(M6x35) and the wing nut.
Starting
Adjusting the spur (Fig. 6)
• The position of the spur (12) defines the working depth.
The further down the spur is adjusted the deeper the
tool will work its way into the ground. The correct tilling
depth is key for an optimised result; the correct adjust-
ment may vary depending on the nature of the soil.
Note: For transport, the spur (12) is mounted such that
the wheel is in down position. For working, the spur is
mounted the other way round so that the wheel is in up
position (Fig. 6).
• Drive the tool to the intended working area prior to
starting the motor.
Connection to the mains (Fig. 3)
Secure extension line with cable relief (4) and connet the
mains plug of the appliance.
The loop of the mains wire must be long enough for the
cable relief to be able to slide from one side to the other.
Starting up (Fig. 4)
• Use your thumb to press the stop button (2) on the left
side of the handle and then the operating switch (1).
• The stop button (2) is only used here as a release so
that the motor can be started and does not have to be
held once the motor has been started.
• To turn the motor off, simply let go of the switch (1).
Tips
• Move the appliance to the work area prior to starting
the motor.
• Hold the appliance firmly, raise the appliance and
switch on the motor at no load.
• Press down on the handles until the appliance has
dug to the depth required and then apply only suf-
ficient pressure to maintain that depth.
• The tines will pull the tiller forward during operation.
• By pulling tiller back towards yourself, the tines will dig
deeper and more aggressively.
• For deeper dig, best results operate at reduced a
height, and take several cultivation especially when
the ground is very hard or rough.
• For deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the tiller forward
to the end of your arm's reach, then firmly pull the tiller
back towards you. By repeatedly allowing the tiller to

Transport
The tines and the unit maybe damaged even if you
move the appliance with the motor switched off, e.g.
over solid ground. Prevent the tines from touching the
ground by carrying out the appliance by its guide bar.
Use the wheel to move the tool. To do so, mount the
spur as shown in Fig. 6.

Maintenance and storage

Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root may become lodged
in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may wrap around
the tine shaft.
To clear the tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the
tiller, and dislodge or remove any obstacles from the
tines or tine shaft.
To ease the removal of tall grass or weeds that are
wrapped around the tine shaft, you may remove one
or more of the tines from the tine shaft. See the Tines
Removal and Installation section in the manual.
Prior to each time the tool is used
• Check the connecting cable for signs of damage
