The power cord is 10 meters in length.

What material are the blades made from?

Troubleshooting

Tiller will not start

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the tiller and the power outlet. Check that the power outlet is functioning correctly by testing with another appliance. Verify that any safety switches or interlocks are engaged.

Reduced tilling performance

Check the blades for entanglement with roots, rocks, or heavy debris and clear them. Ensure the working depth is not set too high for the current soil condition. Clean any soil or debris buildup around the motor housing and blades.

Tiller stops during operation

The motor may have overheated; allow it to cool down for 15-20 minutes before attempting to restart. Ensure the power supply is stable and not experiencing fluctuations.

Excessive vibration

Inspect the blades for damage, bending, or uneven wear. Ensure all assembly bolts and components are tightly secured. Remove any debris lodged in the blade assembly.
