USAGE NOTES:

This tiller/cultivator is suitable for:

• Breaking soft soi

• Preparing seed beds

• Cultivating gardens/flower beds

• Digging small holes for saplings or potted plants

IMPORTANT:

This product is NOT suitable for:

• Tilling sod (thick grass surfaces)

• Soil with thick tree roots

• Soil containing hard stones

OPERATING TIPS:

For breaking soft soil or tilling: Let the tines pull the tiller forward to the end of your arm’s reach, then firmly pull it back toward yourself. Repeat this forward-back motion for best results. Pulling the tiller back toward you will make the

tines dig deeper.

!!!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. If the tiller/cultivator digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock it side to side until it starts moving forward again. When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline to retain a firm, safe footing. Do not work on extremely steep slopes. For preparing seed beds, we recommend using one of these tilling patterns (Fig. 8).

Tilling Pattern A– Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.

Tilling Pattern B– Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second overlapping the first. Before use, remove any visible stones or other foreign bodies from the area.

Cleaning

(Detailed Post-Use Cleaning Instructions for Tiller/Cultivator)

Proper cleaning after each use preserves your tiller/cultivator’s performance and extends its service life. Follow these step-by-step guidelines:

Pre-Cleaning Safety Prep

Wear protective gloves before handling tines, blades, or any working components (risk of cuts/injury). Ensure the tiller is unplugged/powered off and tines have completely stopped moving.

Step 1: Remove Loose Debris from Working Components

Use a stiff scrub brush (or dry cloth) to brush away soil, dirt, leaves, and grass clippings from tines, blades, and the tool shaft

Step 2: Clean Tines/Blades & Prevent Rust Wipe tines/blades with a soft cloth dampened in mild soap + water (avoid excessive moisture). Dry tines/blades thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.

Apply a light coat of biodegradable oil (or rust-preventive oil) to tines/blades to protect

against corrosion.

Step 3: Clean the Motor Housing & Vents Wipe the motor housing with a clean, dry cloth (or compressed air at low pressure) to remove dust and dirt.Clear air vents using a dry brush or low-pressure compressed air (max. 3bar)—do not use water, chemical cleaners, or solvents (they can damage the motor or cause electric shock).

Step 4: Clean the Handle & Exterior Wipe the handle and outer casing with a damp

cloth (mild soap + water) to remove dirt or grime. Dry the handle completely with a clean cloth to prevent slipping or wear.

Critical Do’s & Don’ts

• Do: Clean immediately after each use (prevents damage/poor performance).

• Don’t: Use a water hose, high-pressure water, or harsh chemicals (risk of electric shock or surface damage).

• Don’t: Let water seep into the motor or electrical components.
