a 30 mA (RCD).
• Avoid raking/scarifying wet grass.
• Always work at a relaxed pace. Never hurry.

raking.
• Always turn the lawn raker off and unplug it before crossing surfaces other than grass such
as gravel and asphalt.
• Never use the lawn raker if any part of its housing has been damaged. Never use the lawn
raker without having the collector attached.

immediately. Check the blades and springs, tighten any loose screws and repair any damage

the mains lead does not come into contact with the lawn raker or its rotating blades.
