APPLICATIONS
„ Breaking up garden soil to prepare seed bed for
planting.
„ Shallow cultivating to remove weeds.
STARTING / STOPPING THE CULTIVATOR
See Figure 6
„ Insert the battery pack.
„ Stand behind the unit with the tines on the ground
and the work area clean and free of obstructions.
„ Depress the lock-out switch (5).
„ Pull the switch trigger toward the handlebar to begin
tine rotation.
„ To stop the cultivator, release the switch trigger (4).
PREPARING THE SEED BED See Figure 7
The cultivator can be used to break up garden soil and
prepare a seedbed for planting. Plan ahead to leave
enough room between the seed rows to allow for ma-
chine cultivating after the plants have grown.
NOTE: Several passes over the same path may be re-
quired to reach the desired depth. Do not try to dig too
deeply in the first pass. If the machine jumps or bucks,
allow the unit to move forward at a slightly faster rate or
install wheel / drag stake assembly. To dig more deeply,
lift up on the handlebar. Apply downward pressure on
the handlebar for more shallow cultivating. If the ma-
chine stays and digs in one spot, try rocking the unit
from side to side to start it moving forward again. If the
soil is very hard, water a few days before cultivating.
Avoid working the soil when soggy or wet. Wait a day or
two after heavy rain for the ground to dry.
GENERAL CULTIVATING See Figure 8
Shallow cultivating less than 5cm. deep can be used to
disrupt weeds and aerate soil, without injuring nearby
plant roots. It should be done often so that weeds do not
grow large and cause tangling in the tines of the unit.
The two outer tine blades can be removed from the unit
to allow a more narrow cultivating width.
To remove the two outer tines:
„ Remove the battery pack.
„ Remove the hitch pins from the holes on the ends
of the tine shaft.
„ Remove the outside tine blades and felt washers
from the tine shaft.
„ Place hitch pins in the holes.

CLEARING TINES OF FOREIGN OBJECTS
During operation, a stone or root could become
lodged in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may
become wrapped around the tine shaft. To clear the
tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the tiller, and
dislodge or remove any obstacles from the tines or tine
shaft. To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are
wrapped around the tine shaft, remove one or more of
the tines from the tine shaft. See Tine Removal and
Installation in the manual.
MAINTENANCE
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during cultivator operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove
the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease,
etc.
