While operating

Keep third parties away from the tiller's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone. During the
work, objects such as soil and stones are thrown
upwards or sideways.
The appliance can only be used by a single person. The
user must remain within the working area during the
entire period of engine running.
During operation, the tiller may never be lifted, pushed
or pulled by the transport handle, or other parts of the
appliance except by the handlebar grips, especially by a
second person.
The control and safety devices installed on the machine
must not be removed or inhibited. In particular, never
fix the drive mechanism levers to the upper part of the
handlebars.
Do not place your hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. You should always keep a safety
distance. The safety distance is determined by the
length of the correctly assemble handlebar, do not
modify the handlebar and never start the machine with

a folding handlebar.
Never attach objects to the handlebars (e.g. workwear).
Work only in daylight or with good artificial lighting and
do not work with the tiller exposed to the rain, thunder
and, in particular, under the danger of lightning.
When the soil is wet, there is a greater risk of accidents
due to the less safe working position. You must work
carefully to avoid slipping. If possible, avoid operating
the tiller on a wet soil.
