Operating Instructions

Follow these guidelines for safe and effective operation of your cordless tiller:

1. Pre-Operation Check:
   • Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted.
   • Inspect the tiller blades for any damage or debris.
   • Clear the work area of any large stones, roots, or obstacles that could jam the blades.
   • Wear appropriate safety gear: gloves, eye protection, and sturdy footwear.

   • Grip the main handle firmly with one hand and the auxiliary handle with the other.
   • Press and hold the safety switch (usually a button on the handle).
   • While holding the safety switch, squeeze the trigger to start the motor. Release the safety switch once the motor starts.
3. Tilling Technique:
   • Begin tilling at one end of the area, moving slowly and steadily.
   • Allow the tiller to work at its own pace. Do not force it into hard soil.
   • For deeper cultivation, make multiple passes over the same area, gradually increasing depth.
   • Overlap each pass slightly to ensure even tilling.
   • When turning, lift the tiller slightly to avoid digging too deep or damaging the blades.
4. Stopping the Tiller:
   • Release the trigger to stop the motor.
   • Always remove the battery from the tiller when not in use, or before making any adjustments or cleaning.

CAUTION: Be aware of kickback if the blades strike a hard object. Maintain a firm grip on both handles.
