Black & Decker BETL18 Original Instructions Manual page 11

Holding the auxilary handle and main handle firmly, lower
u
the tines into the soil.
Pull backward on the tiller so the tines can more easily
u
break the surface of the soil.
Once the surface of the soil has been broken, continue
u
forward at a slow pace until you are familiar with the
controls and the handling of the tiller.
Till the soil in overlapping rows. Push the tiller in vertical
u
lines, then till horizontally across the vertical lines to
ensure an even coverage.
If the tines become jammed, remove the battery pack from
u
the appliance.
Wearing gloves, remove the obstruction from the tines.
u
Note: For some jams you will need to use a screwdriver or
a stick to remove the debris. Do not try to clear the tines by
tapping the gear housing on the ground. Doing so could bend
the tines or damage the appliance.
If the tine shaft becomes jammed, remove the battery
u
pack from the appliance.
Inspect the tine shaft to see which side is jammed.
Wearing gloves, remove the clip pin and washer. Then
u
slide the tines off the tine shaft.
Wearing gloves, remove debris or other obstructions
u
wrapped around the tine shaft.
Once the jam is clear, clean the tine shaft of any dirt with a
u
damp rag.
The tines are keyed and only correctly install one way so
u
that the hole for the clip pin is exposed as shown in fig. D.
Wearing gloves, slide the tine onto the tine shaft and
u
install the washer and then the clip pin.
Preventing corrosion
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents that
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you use the
tool in areas where fertilizers or chemicals have been used,
the tool should be cleaned immediately afterwards. Wipe all
exposed parts with a damp cloth. You may lubricate only metal
parts with a light petroleum based oil.
When cleaning, DO NOT immerse tool in water or squirt it with
a hose.
