GARDENA Electric Tiller 250 with rotating rake
1. Technical data
Please read and follow these
operating instructions carefully.
Familiarise yourself with the unit’s
features, its proper use and the
safety instructions included.
AFor safety reasons chil- dren under the age of 16
or people who are not familiar
with these operating instruc-
tions should not use this Tiller.
Please keep these operating
instructions in a safe place.
2. Information regarding the operating instructions
The GARDENA Tiller requires
minimal maintenance.
Please make sure that the cool-
ing air outlet (12) is always
clean.
Remaining soil and dirt should
be removed with a dry rag or
brush. Remaining soil and dirt
should be removed after each
use.
Repairs may only be carried
out by GARDENA Service
Centres or dealers authorised
by GARDENA.
AAttention! Always dis-
connect the mains plug
before working on the Tiller
(checking, cleaning, mainte-
nance). Risk of injury!
To avoid injury to persons and
product damage: Never clean
the Tiller with running water or
with a water jet, in particular
a high pressure water jet.
Store the Tiller in a dry place
where it is protected from frost.
The Tiller should be stored
out of the reach of children.
Observe the manufacturer’s
assembly hints when attaching
or exchanging the accessory
tools.
If you have any problem with
your Tiller, please contact our
Customer Service or return the
defective unit together with a
short description of the problem
and, if covered under guarantee,
with the warranty card duly com-
pleted and signed, directly to one
of the GARDENA Service Centres
listed on the back of this leaflet.
We expressly point out that,
in accordance with the product
liability law, we are not liable
for any damage caused by our
units if it is due to improper
repair or if parts exchanged are
not original GARDENA parts
or parts approved by us, and,
if the repairs were not carried
out by a GARDENA Service
Centre or an authorised spe-
cialist. The same applies to
spare parts and accessories.
5. Maintenance / Service / Storage
4.1 Assembly / changing the
accessory tools (ill. A / A1/ B)
The Tiller is delivered with two
unassembled accessory tools.
The crumbling head (1) serves
to crumble the upper layer of
soil of a cultivated surface. The
rotating rake (2) serves to finely
level after crumbling.
Assembly of an accessory tool
1. Always disconnect the mains
plug before working on your
Tiller!
2. Stand the Tiller on the handle
(3). The rubber stopper (3a)
prevents stipping and damage
to the handle.
3. Place the accessory tool
(crumbling head (1) or rotating
rake (2)) onto the three bayonet
pins (5) by means of the centre
pin (4) and press down. Turn
the accessory tool clockwise
until the red safety knob (6)
snaps in.
Changing the accessory tool
1. Always disconnect the mains
plug before working on your
Tiller!
2. Stand the Tiller on the handle
(3). The rubber stopper (3a)
prevents stipping and damage
to the handle.
3. To unlock and remove the
accessory tool (crumbling head
or rotating rake), simultane-
ously press the red safety knob
(6) and turn the accessory
tool counter clockwise.
4. Assembly as described above.
4. Initial operation (ill. A-G)
The GARDENA Electric Tiller 250
is designed for loosening and
levelling smaller cultivated sur-
faces in private house and hobby
gardens.
This Tiller is for private use only
and is not designed for use in
public facilities, parks, sporting
grounds, roads, agriculture or
forestry.
It is essential to observe the
manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions to ensure the unit’s proper
functioning. These instructions
also contain advice for service,
maintenance and repair.
AAttention! For safety reasons the unit must not
be used for scarifying lawn
surfaces.
3. Product use
Attention! Before assembly
or exchanging an accessory
tool always clear the head sup-
port (7) of possible remaining
soil (also refer to point 5. Main-
tenance / Service / Storage).
4.2 Connection of the tiller –
cable lock / extension cable
(ill. A/A1)
Insert the extension cable (8) into
the clamping fixture of the cable
lock (9) and secure by turning
the holder (10). The cable lock
prevents unintentional separation
of the electrical plugs. Connect
to the mains (11).
4.3 Working position (ill. C)
Just lift the unit by the handle (3)
and guide handle (14). The ac-
cessory tool is guided vertically
over the cultivated surface.
4.4 Adjusting the guide handle
to correct working position
(ill. D)
By loosening the fastening screw
(15) the guide handle (14) can
conveniently be adjusted accord-
ing to user’s height and area of
use.
4.5 Operation (ill. A/A1 / C -G)
Switch the unit on by pressing
the starting switch (13) on the
handle (3). The Tiller automati-
cally switches off when releasing
the starting switch (13).
Hold the Tiller in normal work-
ing position before switching
on (see ill. C/E/F).
AThe safety devices in- stalled by the manufac-
turer must not be removed
or by-passed, e.g. by binding
the on/off switch to the handle.
This will prevent the Tiller
switching off automatically,
and may cause serious injury.
Attention! The tiller will take a
while to stop running after the
unit is switched off.
4.6 Working with the Tiller
on cultivated surfaces
(ill. C / E-G)
Crumbling of friable soil
conditions (ill. E)
For assembly of the crumbling
head (1) see point 4.1.
For preparation of a cultivated
area with friable conditions in
early spring, and for fine crum-
bling when preparing beds for
sowing.
Guide the crumbling head (1)
vertically in the soil. To ease the
load, start the Tiller just before
dipping into the soil surface.
A fine crumbling structure of the
upper layer of soil is obtained
by pulling in circular movements.
Levelling of areas
with the rotating rake (ill. F)
For assembly of the rotating rake
(2) see point 4.1.
To level the soil surface, move
the roating rake (2) evenly across
the pre-crumbled soil in circular
movements.
Crumbling between plants
(ill. C/G)
For assembly of the crumbling
head (1) see point 4.1.
The Tiller with crumbling head (1)
is especially suitable for fine
crumbling and loosening of soil
around existing plants.

AInspect the unit before each use
Before each use, inspect the
Tiller. Do not use the Tiller if
safety devices (starting switch)
and/or accessory tools have
been damaged or are worn.
Never by-pass safety devices.
Inspect the area to be culti-
vated before and during work.
Remove any obstructions
such as stones. During work
look out for obstructions.
If, in spite of care, you come
into contact with an obstruc-
tion whilst cutting, turn off
the Tiller and remove it.
Check the unit for possible
damage and have it repaired,
if necessary.
AUse/Responsibility
This Tiller can cause serious
injuries!
Only use the Tiller for the
purposes specified in these
instructions.
You are responsible for the
safety in the working area.
Make sure that there are no
other people (especially chil-
dren) or animals within or
near the working area.
Never use the Tiller with
damaged or defective acces-
sory tools!
The mains plug should be
disconnected after use and the
Tiller –especially the acces-
sory tools –should regularly
be checked for damages and
adequately be repaired if nec-
essary.
Wear eye protection or pro-
tective glasses!
Wear sturdy shoes and long
trousers to protect your legs.
Keep hands and feet away from
the accessory tools –above
all, when starting work.
Ensure that you have secure
foothold whilst working. The
extension cable should always
be kept away from the working
area. Attention! Take extra
care when walking backwards.
You may stumble.
Only work when the visibility
is good.
AInterrupting work
Never leave the Tiller unat-
tended in the working place.
If you stop work, store the
Tiller in a safe place. Discon-
nect the mains plug!
Should you stop work in order
to get to another working place,
always switch off the Tiller,
wait until the tool stops and
disconnect the mains plug!
AWork place safety
Make yourself familiar with
the surroundings and look out
for dangers which you may
not detect due to machinery
noise.
Never use the Tiller when it is
raining or in a damp, wet area.
Do not use the Tiller in or near
swimming pools or ponds.
AElectrical safety
Check the power cable re-
gularly for damages and signs
of wear and tear.
The Tiller must only be oper-
ated with an undamaged elec-
trical cable. If the mains or
extension cable is damaged,
disconnect the mains plug
immediately.
The socket of an extension
cable should be waterproof.
Only use permitted extension
cables. Ask your electrician.
For portable units which are
used outdoors, we recommend
to use a fault circuit breaker.
In Switzerland use of fault
circuit breaker is obligatory.
