General safety instructions

Extension cord

Check that the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, make sure that it is sufﬁciently

strong so that it can carry the necessary current for powering the machine. An extension cord with insufﬁcient

dimensions will result in a reduction of power voltage, which will result in reduced performance and overheating.

The extension and power cord can be tied together using a knot to prevent them from disconnecting when the

machine is being used. Tie the knot as shown in the ﬁgure below, then insert the plug on the power cord into the

socket on the end of the extension cord. In the same way, you can join two extension cords.

Be careful with the extension cord when working with the tiller. Take care not to trip over the power cord. The power

cord always goes away from the blades of the tiller.

Overheating protection

If the tiller is blocked by a foreign object or its motor is overloaded, a safety mechanism will automatically turn the

motor off. Release the start lever and wait until the motor cools down (approximately 15 minutes) before starting

the tiller again.

Disconnect the machine from the power supply if you will not be using it, if you are going to wash or repair

it. Do not leave it without supervision.

Do not damage the power cord

Never carry the machine by the power cord or tug on it in order to pull it out of the power socket. Protect the power

cord against heat, oil and sharp edges.

Use the machine properly

Do not use this appliance for other purposes than those for which it is intended (see chapter "Purpose of use").

Do not overestimate your abilities

Lead the tiller only at walking speed. When working, constantly maintain a ﬁrm posture and balance.

Lighting

Use the tiller only during daylight or strong artiﬁcial lighting.

Store the machine under a roof when not in use

If you are not using the tiller, place it under a roof in a dry location to which children do not have access.

Perform meticulous maintenance of the machine

For the best performance and lowest risk of injury, keep the machine clean and regularly check the extension cord

and replace it when it is damaged. Keep the handles dry, clean and unstained by oil.

Pay attention to what you are doing. Apply common sense. Do not use the tiller if you are tired or under the inﬂuence

of drugs or medication.

WARNING: Do not use the tiller in the vicinity of underground electric or telephone cables, pipes or hoses.

If the tiller hits a foreign object, immediately turn it off, wait until the blades come to a stop and check them

for damage. If necessary, seek out the services of an authorised service centre. If the tiller begins to vibrate

excessively, immediately turn it off and identify the cause. Vibrations usually indicate a problem.

ATTENTION: Danger of cuts! When cleaning or carrying out maintenance on the tiller, use protective

gloves and be careful.

Before starting any type of maintenance or repair work on the tiller, turn it off, wait until the blades come to a stop

and disconnect it from the power supply.

NOTE: The blades will not come to a stop immediately after the tiller is turned off.

NOTE: Risk of injury. Keep your hands, legs and other parts of your body and clothing always well away from

the rotating blades of the tiller.

Fundamentals of work safety

2. FUNDAMENTALS OF WORK SAFETY

Never use the machine if the power cord is damaged or visibly worn out.

In the event that you connect the tiller using a damaged power cord to a power source

and then touch the place that is uninsulated before the tiller is disconnected from the

power source, you subject yourself to a risk of injury by electrical shock.

Likewise, never touch the blades until the machine is disconnected from the power

source and until the blades come to a complete stop.

Make sure that the extension cord never comes into contact with the blades. The

blades could damage the insulation on the power cord and this would create a risk

of injury by electrical shock when a certain part of the body and the exposed wire

touch while it is under live current.

Disconnect the machine from the voltage source (i.e. pull the plug on the power cord

out of the mains power socket):

• If you need to leave the machine without supervision.

• If you are planning to carry out troubleshooting.

• Prior to every inspection, every cleaning or repairs.

• If you impact a foreign object when working with it.

• If the machine vibrates excessively.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Connect the machine only to such a power source that is equipped with a re-

sidual current device (RCD) with a maximum leakage current of 30 mA.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by an authorised customer service.

This machine must not be operated by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities (including

children). Furthermore, it must not be used by inexperienced persons whose technical knowledge for the

operation of this machine is insufﬁcient. These persons may operate the machine under the supervision of

a competent person or after being duly instructed about the fundamentals of work safety.

If children are moving around in the vicinity of the machine, it is necessary to watch that they do not play with

the machine.

A tingling sensation in one's hands or their numbness are indications of excessive vibrations. If this happens,

shorten the work cycle, take sufﬁciently long breaks, share the work among several people or in the event of

long term use of the tiller, use special anti-vibration gloves when working.

An unavoidable associated consequence of using the tiller is that it emits noise when it is running. Therefore,

perform noisy work only during dedicated hours, respectively at a time when this type of activity is normal.

Respect quiet times and try to limit the work to the shortest possible duration. Likewise, we recommend that

you and persons moving in the direct vicinity of the tiller should wear ear protection.

Do not use the electric tiller with damaged, deformed or worn out safety mechanisms (start safety switch,

safety cover) and/or blades. To avoid incorrect balance, faulty parts and bolts must be replaced in sets with-

out exception.

EN7

EN 8

FZK 2002 E

Fundamentals of work safety

Prior to starting work, look for and remove foreign objects (for example stones, branches, etc.).

If during work you hit an obstacle or if the blades jam up then turn the electric tiller off, pull the power plug out

of the socket and wait until the blades come to a stop. Then remove the obstacle. Check the electric tiller for

damage and if necessary seek assistance at an authorised service centre.

Only use the electric tiller for purposes described in this user's manual.

Do not pull the tiller along a hard surface (concrete, footpaths) or up/down stairs. Do not overload the motor.

Do not place any additional weight on the tiller. After you have ﬁnished using the tiller, disconnect it from the

power supply and check the machine and in particular the blades for damage and if necessary seek out an

authorised service centre.

Be particularly careful when walking backwards. You could stumble!

When working on a slope, always work perpendicular to the slope and maintain a safe and ﬁrm posture.

Pay increased attention when changing direction on a slope and do not work on extremely steep slopes.

Work only under good visibility.

Work clothes/work area

You are responsible for safety in the work area.

Make sure that there are no people (especially children) or animals in the vicinity of the work area.

Wear robust work boots and long pants to provide protection to your legs. Never use the tiller when wearing

sandals or barefoot.

Keep hands and feet away from the blades – in particular when starting the machine! Keep the extension cord

away from the blades.

Acquaint yourself with the surroundings and be aware of potential risks which could be ignored due to the

noise of the machine.

Never use the machine when it is raining or in a damp or wet environment. Never work in the direct vicinity of

swimming pools and garden ponds.

Interrupting work

Never leave the electric tiller in the work area without supervision.

When you interrupt work, always leave the electric tiller in a safe location and disconnect it from the power

supply.

When moving the tiller from one work area to another, turn it off and wait for the blades to come to a stop.

Disconnect the power cord.

Other risks

Despite the fact that our products are designed to meet the valid technical norms and safety directives in force,

there still remain certain risks to the user associated with the operation of the machine:

• Stones and other fragments may ﬂy out of the area of the blades.

• If the operator of the machine fails to use hearing protection, then they risk subsequent deafness.

• Finger injury during blade maintenance.

• Inhalation of dust particles created when working with the tiller.

• Electrical shock when uninsulated parts are touched.

7. BEFORE TURNING ON THE ELECTRIC

TILLER

ATTENTION: Never remove or short-circuit the safety features mounted on the electric

tiller (for example fastening the push button/lever to the handle).

ATTENTION: The blades of the tiller will continue to rotate for a short time after it is

turned off! Never lift or carry the tiller with the motor running. When turning it on, make

sure that your feet are at a safe distance from the tiller blades.

ATTENTION: Always lead the tiller by the handles with both hands. Lead the tiller only

at walking speed.

Before turning on the tiller, make sure that the blades are not touching any object and that they can move freely.

Hold the handle ﬁrmly with both hands. Never work with the tiller with only one hand.

ATTENTION: The tiller may jump up and/or forwards if the blades hit very hard or frozen soil or if there are

hidden obstacles on the soil such as large stones, roots or tree stumps.

Power cord of the machine

Use only undamaged power cords.

The total length of the power cords must not exceed 40 metres because exceeding this distance will result in

reduced motor performance. The power cord must have a cross-section of 3 × 1.5 mm2.

The power cord plugs and sockets must be made from rubber and resistant against spraying water. Longer power

cords require larger wire cross-sections. The power cord and the connecting leads must be checked regularly for

damage. Before checking the leads, check that they are not under live current. Fully unwind the power cord. Also

check the entry locations of the cords, plugs and sockets.

Fig. 7

Fig. 6

CAUTION:

Use the tiller for breaking up clumps of soil and preparing garden beds for sowing.

To break up clumps of soil or for deep loosening, allow the tiller to pull your hands to the end of their reach

and then firmly pull the tiller back towards yourself. You will achieve the best results by repeatedly allowing

the tiller to move forward and then pulling it back towards yourself again. The movement of the tiller towards

you will achieve more aggressive and deeper ploughing by the blades.

In the event that the tiller sinks deep into the soil and stays in the one location, rock it gently from side to side

until it again starts moving forward.

WARNING:

! Be very careful to avoid tripping when moving backwards and when pulling the tiller towards yourself.

! Never travel over the power cord with the tiller. Check that the power cord is always in a safe position behind

you.

! When working on a slope, always stand diagonally to the slope to maintain a firm safe stance. Do not work

on extremely steep slopes.

Maintenance

Check that all safety mechanisms are safe and in good condition. Repair or replace it if necessary. Lubricate the

blades and shaft once per season. Before putting the tiller away at the end of the season, check that it is not dam-

aged. Repair or replace damaged parts.

ATTENTION: Clean the tiller after every use. Neglecting proper cleaning may result in damage to the tiller

or a reduction in its performance. Clean the bottom motor bearer plate and the blade cover with a brush and

a soft wiping cloth dipped in a soap and water solution.

Never use a hose with water to clean the tiller! Never wash the tiller under running water,

in particular with pressurised water.

If you want to remove soil and dirt from the gearbox and blades, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth. Clean the

holes on the motor cover and remove all grass and dirt remains. After cleaning the blades and shaft, immediately

wipe them dry and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent corrosion.

Installing and removing the blades

For this task, we recommend that you contact an authorised service centre.

Worn out blades provide only a low level of performance and overload the motor.

Check the blades before each use. Sharpen or replace the blade if necessary. For support, contact an authorised

service centre.

WARNING: Injuries may occur when working on the blades. Use protective gloves.

To remove the blade from the shaft (Fig. 9), screw out the hex bolt M8 x 40 from the shaft. Take the blades off the
