Overburden protection: The motor of the tiller will switch itself off automatically if it is overbur-dened. The device must not be used before the motor has entirely cooled down again.
When working in slopes: Move diagonal to the slope, never from top to bottom. Be especially cautious when changing the direction on the slope. Do not work on overly steep slopes. There is a risk of injury if the tiller falls over, as well as the risk of the engine damaging due to inefficient lubrication. The maximum cross slope is 15°.

Check the tines regularly for damage.
Always make sure that the ventilation holes are free of dirt.
Check whether the extension cables have any sign of damage, before using the device. If the cable seems to be damaged or worn, it needs to be exchanged immediately. Keep the cable away from the tines.
Ensure that all screws and nuts are tightened, for a smooth and safe operation.
Replace damaged or worn parts, to ensure all safety measurements are in place and guaran-teed.
Only use original spare parts, as only these have been authorised and tested by the manufac-turer. Other spare parts can cause unforeseeable damage.
Maintenance service which is more complex or requires the help of special tools needs to be carried out by a qualified technician.
The device needs to be checked-up on at least once per season by a qualified technician.
