OPERATION
1. To start the tiller, press and
hold the Lock-off Button.
¥
Water the work area prior to commencing tilling operation.
¥
Move the tiller to the work area prior to starting the motor.
¥
Hold the tiller firmly while switching it on. The tines will pull
the tiller forward during operation.
¥
Hold the upper handle securely, walk backwards slowly and
allow the tines to dig into the work area.
¥
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
the tiller back towards you. By repeatedly allowing the tiller to
move forward and then pulling back to you, the tiller will be
most effective.
¥
For better results, move the machine forward as well as
backwards.
¥
If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock
the tiller side to side to start the tiller moving forward again.
¥
Lay the power cable on the ground in front of the outlet in
a figure 8. Work away from the outlet or cable and ensure
that the power cable always trails in the hoed soil which will
prevent the hoe blades from travelling over the cable.
