RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power source and/ or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch, or energising power tools that are switched on, invites accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Every day glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering the power tools will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not use a power tool/machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tool/machine may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tool/machine with your finger on the switch or energizing power tool/machine that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or spanner before turning the power tool/machine on. A spanner or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool/machine may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool/ machine in unexpected situations. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Do not use the power tool/machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool/machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool/machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing pow- er tool/machine tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool/machine ac- cidentally.

LAWN SCARIFIERS & AERATORS

Before starting the tool, make sure the tines are not touching any object and are free to move.
Grip the Push Bar firmly with both hands. Never operate with one hand. Do not overreach – keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not use the tool on a slope that is too steep for safe operation. When on slopes, slow down and ensure you have good footing. Do not operate the tool whilst tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
Keep children, pets and bystanders away while operating the tool. Distractions can cause accidents or injury. Walk, never run with the tool.
Do not use the tool for extended periods of time. Use in short periods with rest in between. The tool produces excessive vibration which can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip.
Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves.
CAUTION The tool may bounce upward and/or jump forward if the tines strike extremely hard-packed soil, frozen grounds or buried obstacles such as large stones, roots or stumps. If the tool strikes a foreign body, turn it off immediately and check for the cause. Repair before restarting.
WARNING Do not operate the tool near underground electrical cables, telephone lines, pipes or hoses.
When charging accessories, always ensure the machine is unplugged.

OPERATION

CAUTION! During operation, a stone or root may become lodged in the Tines, or tall grass or weeds may become wrapped around the tine shaft.
To clear the tines or tine shaft, release the Trigger Lever, wait for the Tines to come to a complete stop and unplug the Tiller.
Wearing suitable safety gloves carefully dislodge or remove the foreign matter from the Tines or Tine Shaft.
To simplify removal of tall grass or weeds from the Tine Shaft, remove one or more of the Tines.

IMPORTANT: Move the Tiller to the work area prior to starting the motor.

Use the Tiller for breaking soil, preparing seed beds, and for cultivating gardens and flower beds. The Tiller can also dig small holes for planting saplings or potted plants.

NOTE: For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the Tines to pull the Tiller forward to the end of your arm’s reach, then firmly pull it back towards yourself. Best results will be achieved by repeatedly allowing the Tiller to move forward and pulling it back.

CAUTION: By pulling the Tiller back towards yourself, the Tines will dig deeper and more aggressively. To prevent tripping, take extra precautions when moving backwards and when pulling the Tiller back towards yourself.

NOTE: If the Tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock it from side to side until it starts to move forward again.

CAUTION: When working on inclines, always stand diagonally to the inclines to retain a firm, safe footing. Do not work on extremely steep slopes.

WARNING! Never pass the Tiller over the extension cord. Make sure the cord is always in a safe position behind you.

For preparing seed beds, we recommend using one of the following tilling patterns.

CAUTION: Before moving the Tiller from one area to another, switch off the motor and wait for the Tines to come to a complete stop. Be careful not to let the Tines touch the ground whilst moving the Tiller.

The Tines, as well as the unit itself, may be damaged even if the motor is switched off.

To stop the Tiller, simply release the Trigger Lever.

WARNING! Ensure the Label “FRONT” is pointing away from your body.

TILLING PATTERN

Pattern A: Make two passes over the area to be tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.
TILLING PATTERN

Pattern B: Make two passes over the area to be tilled, the second overlapping the first.

WORKING POSITION

Maintain a safe distance.

MAINTENANCE

Before each use, check the extension cord for signs of damage or aging.

Do not use if the cable if it is cracked, split or otherwise damaged.

Check the condition of the Tines (8) and ensure that all threaded connections are securely tightened. If the Tines become dull or blunt, sharpen or replace them.

Always clean the Tiller after each use. Failure to carry out proper cleaning can result in damage to the Tiller or result in poor performance.

Clean the Motor Housing (6) around the Tines using a scrubbing brush and a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture.

Clean the vents on the Motor Housing and remove any remaining grass or dirt.

To remove soil and debris from the transmission and Tines, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth.

WARNING! Never use a water hose to clean the Tiller.

Once cleaned, wipe the Tines and Tine Shaft dry and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.

Once per season, lubricate the Tines and Tine Shaft. At the end of the season, check the Tiller for damage prior to storing.

Repair or replace damaged or broken parts.

REMOVING

WARNING! Injury can occur while working on the Tines.
Always wear protective gloves.

Worn Tines can cause poor performance and could lead to the motor being overloaded.

Check the Tines before each use. Sharpen or replace the Tine assemblies with new ones when necessary.

To remove the complete Tine Assembly from the Tine Shaft, remove the M8x40 Hex Bolts and Nuts.

ADDING TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT

Remove the Tine Assemblies to allow better access to the Drain Screw Plug.

The Drain Screw Plug (10) is located on the right side of Motor Housing.

Lay the Tiller on its left side and clean the transmission of dirt and debris prior to removing the Drain Screw Plug.

Use a 8mm hex hey to unscrew the Drain Screw Plug.

Empty the oil from the transmission into a suitable container and dispose of correctly.

Fill with a high quality SAE 30 weight oil (not supplied), until it begins to seep out around the hole.

From empty, approximately 60ml of oil will fill the unit.

Reinstall the Drain Screw Plug and ensure it is secure.
