DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, scarfs, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches), which can be
caught in moving parts. Protective electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid heavy duty
footwear are highly recommended when working. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
Always wear safety glasses/goggles and/or face shields. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses/goggles. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery.
DO NOT SMOKE
Do not smoke when using the tiller and ensure caution when handling fuel. We recommend you fuel
the machine at least 3 metres away from where you wish to work, in case any spilt fuel ignites when
starting the engine.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Do not operate near underground electrical cables, telephone lines, pipes or hoses.
ALWAYS SWITCH THE MACHINE OFF
Always switch off the machine, disconnect the plug and wait for the tines to stop turning before
carrying out any inspection or maintenance. The tines will not stop immediately after switching off.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The mains voltage must correspond to the one marked on the technical data plate (230V-50Hz). Do
not use any other source of power. The use of a circuit breaker is recommended for an intervention
range of 10 to 30 rated mA.
Make sure you always know where the cable is and never pass the tiller over the cable to avoid
cutting the cable with the tines.
Do NOT use the machine in the rain and do NOT leave it outside overnight. Try to prevent it getting
wet or being exposed to humidity.
Check the power cable regularly to ensure it is not damaged. Only use an extension cable which is
suitable for outdoor use. If the cable is damaged arrange for a replacement before further use.
The mobile socket of the extension cable should be splash proof in compliance with DIN57282 and
VDE 0282 regulations; the cross section of the wire (max length 75m) should be at least 1.5mm².
Use H07RN-F harmonised cable.
KEEP BYSTANDERS AND CHILDREN AWAY
Keep unauthorised persons a minimum distance of 20 metres away from the machine. If
approached, stop the machine immediately. Do not allow children to handle, climb on or in the
mixer.
DO NOT OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times when using the machine. Never stand on the machine.
Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped or if the moving parts are unintentionally
contacted. Do not store anything above or near the machine, where anyone might stand on the
machine to reach them.
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Keep hands & feet out of the way of all moving parts. Do not place any part of your body or any tool
e.g. in the machine during operation.
DO NOT FORCE TOOL
Always work within the rated capacity. Do not use machine for a purpose for which it was not
intended.
NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED
Do not leave the machine unattended until it has come to a complete stop.
MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE WITH CARE
Clean the machine immediately after use. Keep the machine clean to ensure it operates to it’s full
and safest performance. When maintaining this machine, only the manufacturer’s original
replacement parts should be used. The use of non-original manufacturer parts may invalidate your
warranty.
