Only loosen the surface soil around
plants. Avoid going too deep as this
could damage the shallow roots of some
plants.
To avoid any damage to the cultivator or
trees, be wary not to catch the blades on
the large roots of trees.
Working in soil improvers
N
The cultivator can be used for mulching

Pull the rotor blades off the shaft.

Cultivator spur (special accessory)
The cultivator spur simplifies control and
makes operation of the power tool less
tiring. It slows the forward motion and
reduces the effort required to hold the
power tool.
The spur breaks up the ridge between
the rotor blades when tilling hard soil.
Use the screw and knob to mount
N
the cultivator spur to the right-hand
side of the flange.
Set the spur to the required depth
N
and tighten it down firmly.
