Working in an alternating backwards
and forwards motion is particularly
suitable for loosening packed soil.
Working in a steady backwards or
forwards motion is particularly suitable
for working loose soil.
The rotor blades may only be mounted
and operated in one position. Arrows on
the blades show the required direction of
rotation – see chapter on "Mounting the
MultiTool".
Typical Applications
N Breaking up soil
A few preparations are necessary before
you begin to break up soil which has
been previously tilled (e.g. last year's
vegetable or flower garden). First clear
away surface weeds and remains of
other plants as well as hard objects like
rocks, stones, bottles, pieces of wood
etc.
Hold the cultivator firmly with both hands
and till only a small area at a time to the
required depth.
Finish tilling the area by guiding the
cultivator in such a way that you leave
no footprints. Use a rake to level off the
entire area.
N Loosening soil around plants
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.
N Working in soil improvers
The cultivator can be used for mulching
with loam, compost, leaves, other
organic material or fertilizers.
Prepare the area by removing all old
roots, the remains of large plants and
hard objects (stones etc.). Spread the
mulch evenly on the ground.
Work in the mulch with a back and forth
motion.
Finish off by leveling the area with a
rake.
N Trenching or furrowing
Walk slowly backward and pull the
cultivator to create the furrow required.
Repeat as necessary to obtain deeper
furrows.
Cleaning the rotor blades
Parts of plants, e.g. roots, can become
tightly wrapped around or between the
rotor blades during operation. To clean
the rotor blades:
– Wear gloves.
– Pull the hitch pins out of the axle.
– Pull the rotor blades off the shaft.
– Remove roots, plants and soil.
Refer to "Mounting the MultiTool" for
mounting instructions.
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.
N Use the screw and knob to mount
the cultivator spur to the right-hand
side of the flange.
N Set the spur to the required depth
and tighten it down firmly.
