8. Working Correctly

General instructions on the working method

The appliance is a diversified appliance which enables you to work the soil very comfortably. With the appliance, you can break out, crumble and loosen the soil, weed, mix compost under and fertilise a fruit and vegetable garden in addition to caring for the edges of your lawn. The following instructions for use should provide you with tips and ideas with regard to the correct handling of the appliance. The appliance's steel tongs work with oscillating rotational movements at an angle of 90°. It achieves 760 of these rotational movements forwards and backwards in one minute. The maximum working depth amounts to 80 mm. It can be led in the direction of plants and between them without damaging their roots.

Please ensure that you only use the appliance to work soil which does not contain any stones.

Breaking the soil out

(Fig. 13)

In spring, the soil must be broken out if it is too compact. To do so, the appliance is led in a drawing motion. Insert the switched on appliance in the soil away from the body and pull it slowly in your direction. If necessary, repeat this working movement until you have reached the required working depth and loosening extent. Air, water and nutrients can penetrate the soil once more and the soil biology is activated.

Note:

If the soil has become extremely hard so that you can only work with great effort (including with other commercially available appliances), we recommend that you initially loosen the soil with the bar spade. To do so, insert the bar spade in the soil and move it slowly back and forth. In order to thoroughly loosen the soil, continue with the appliance as described under Breaking the soil out.

Crumbling the soil

(Fig. 14)

You can use the appliance to easily and quickly prepare your bed for the seeds. To do this, the switched on appliance is slowly moved back and forth. The seed bed can be easily structured and is provided with a fine, loose consistency. The best precondition for a successful development of your sowings.

Note:

If the soil is heavily compacted, it must be broken out before crumbling. To do so, guide the appliance in pulling working movements as described under

Breaking the soil out.

Loosening the soil

(Fig. 15)

A regular loosening of the soil reduces the development of weeds and promotes the healthy development of your plants.

Guide the switched on appli- ance in your bed and around your plants. The appliance can be easily led in forwards, circu- lar or pulling movements. Also comfortably loosen under- neath the shrubs. The appliance works in a manner which cares for the roots.

Note:

If the soil is compacted due to it not being regularly loosened in the past, it must be broken out first. To do so, guide the appliance in pulling working movements as described under Breaking the soil out.

Weeding

(Fig. 16 a/b)

Weeds divest your useful plants of space. A regular removal of weeds is important in order to ensure that your plants can develop magnificently. Take the switched on appliance, guide it directly to above the weed which is to be removed and slightly submerge into the soil with the appliance. Now pull the appliance in your direction. Remove the appliance again and repeat the action if necessary. Repeat this until the weed has been loosened together with its root. You now only have to collect the removed weeds.

Mixing fertiliser and compost under

(Fig. 17)

In order to ensure that your plants receive nutrition, it is necessary to regularly work fertiliser or

compost into the soil. Loosen the soil first. Evenly apply compost or fertiliser to your useable surface and work it in evenly with the appliance. To do so, the appliance can be moved loosely in forwards, circular or pulling movements.

Caring for lawn edges (Fig. 18 a/b)

The appliance quickly and comfortably removes lawn sods together with the roots, thereby bringing your lawn and bed edges in top form. To do so, hold the appliance in the working position, slowly insert it on the lawn sod from above and pull the appliance in your direction. Remove the appliance and repeat the action until the lawn has become loose. You now only have to collect the removed grass. To easily clean bed edges and borders, guide the appliance along g the lawn edge. Working in pulling movements or slowly guide the appliance back and forth.

9. Maintenance / care / storage

Accidents and appliance mal- functions can be avoided by car- rying out regular inspections (firm seating of screwed connections, cracks, damage) and by replay- ing damaged or worn parts.

The appliance is mainly maintenance-free. Switch the appliance off if clods of earth or plant residue should become trapped in the tines when working with the appliance. Hold the appliance as close to the soil as possible and allow it to start up briefly. The soiling loosens itself as a result of the oscillating rotational movement. Remove residue manually if necessary.

Caution! Before carrying out any work, inspection, cleaning and repair work, switch the appliance off and remove the plug. Risk of injury!

Ensure that the air ports in the motor cover and in the guide handle are free from soiling.

Remove soil and dirt residue with a dry cloth or brush.

Repairs are only to by carried out by GLORIA-Service or by authorised GLORIA dealers.

Due to the risk of personal injury and material damage: do not clean the appliance under flowing water; especially not under high pressure.

Store the appliance in a dry place whereit is protected from frost. The storage place should not be accessible by children.
