SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Warning! Read these instructions carefully before operating this machine. Make sure that you are familiar with the controls and properly operate the machine. Following these instructions, you can reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Operation 1. Operate the product only in daylight or in good artificial light. 2. Avoid operating the product in wet grass. If you must use the product in wet grass, take additional precautions to avoid slipping. 3. Always be sure of your footing on slopes. 4. Walk, never run when using the machine. 5. Always work across the face of slopes, never up and down. 6. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. 7. Do not operate the product on steep slopes. 8.
Vibration and noise reduction To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emissions, limit the time of operation, use low-vibration and low-noise operating modes and wear personal protection equipment. Take the following points into account to minimize the vibration and noise exposure risks: 1. Only use the product as intended by its design and these instructions. 2. Ensure that the product is in good condition and well maintained. 3.
VIBRATION The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool. Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.
Double insulation: The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed. Important note: Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The tool is fitted with a two-core cable and plug.
Inspect the area where the product is to be used and remove all objects which could be thrown by the machine. If you find objects while operating stop the motor and remove them. Beware of sharp tines. Tines continue to rotate after the motor is switched off. Remove the plug from the power supply before maintenance work or if the power cord is damaged. Keep the supply cord away from the cutting device. The cutting device continues to rotate after the product is switched off.

The declared vibration value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. WARNING! The vibration emission value during actual use of the tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Read all instructions carefully. Do not connect the scarifier to the mains supply power before it is completely assembled. Always wear gloves during assembly. 1. INTENDED USE 1). This scarifier and raker is designated with a rated input of 1300 Watts. Depending on the fitted cutting device, this product is intended for either scarifying and removing thatch from lawns or for raking in domestic and hobby gardens. 2).
b). Align the middle handle bars (5) to the lower ones (6). Make sure the holes in the handle bars (5, 6) correspond and secure them with one mounting set (4) on each side. (See Fig. 2). 5 4b 4a 6 Fig. 2 c). Slide the cord strain relief (2) onto the upper handle bar (3). (See Fig. 3). 2 3 Fig. 3 d). Align the upper handle bar (3) with the middle handle bar (5) and secure them with one mounting set (4) on each side. (See Fig. 4a, 4b). 3 5 6 Fig. 4a 4a 3 4b Fig.
e). Fix the cord with the cord clips (16) to the handle bar (Fig. 5). 2). GRASS CATCHER ASSEMBLY WARNING! Do not attempt to use the product without the grass catcher attached as objects may be thrown. WARNING! The product must be switched off and the cutting device must have stopped rotating before you attach or empty the grass catcher! 16 Fig. 5 WARNING! Never use the scarifier without the grass catcher bag securely fitted. 14 15 Fig. 6 20 Fig.
4. CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WARNING! Always switch the product off and remove the mains plug from the power supply before making any adjustments. Adjust the depth according to the needs of your lawn. The most suitable depth depends on the kind of lawn and the actual height of the grass. Please note when working on an unkempt lawn with thick thatch you should rake or scarify the lawn at a higher setting before going over it again at a lower setting, so as not to put too much strain on the motor. 1).
5. POWER CONNECTION WARNING! Before operating the scarifier, ensure that the fastening elements are undamaged. In order to reduce the risk of injuries, always switch off the motor and pull out the mains plug before working on the machine. The product can be connected to any socket (with 230-240V alternating current). We recommend to always use the appliance via a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of max. 30mA. 1).
7. OVERLOAD PROTECTION The overload protection will be activated in the following circumstances: 1). A build up of scarified material around the cutting device. 2). If the material scarified is too large and causes the motor to work beyond its capacity. 3). Where there is too much resistance against the cutting device. When the circuit breaker has been activated switch off the product and disconnect from the power supply.
Fig. 10 9). Select the suitable working depth for the actual grass height. 10). Do not work with this product on a wet lawn because the grass may stick to the underside of the product, preventing the proper discharge of collected material, and could also cause you to slip and fall. 11). Slowly push the product forward. Move the product at an appropriate speed. Do not move it too fast or the discharge opening may get blocked and the engine may overload. 12). Work in slight overlapping rows.
