Intended use
This electric scarifier and raker MSRP1800 is designated with a rated power input
of 1800 Watts.
Depending on the fitted attachment this product is either intended for scarifying
and removing thatch from lawns or for raking in domestic and hobby gardens.
When used as a scarifier with scarifier drum installed, this product works by
scratching through and between the grass with specially adapted blades that
collect and remove any unwanted parts from the lawn whilst leaving the grass
stalk intact. At the same time the product scarifies the ground resulting in a better
airing.
When used as a raker with raker drum installed, the tines will scratch the
surface of the lawn while simultaneously picking light debris for better oxygen
absorption, airing and draining.
This product is not to be used in wet weather conditions and may not be used to
mow grass or for shredding leaves.
For safety reasons it is essential to read the entire instruction manual before first
operation and to observe all the instructions therein.
This product is intended for private domestic use only, not for any commercial
trade use. It must not be used for any purposes other than those described.
Adjustment
Product functions
NOTE: Thatch is a build-up of organic materials which can include
dead grass or leaves, stems, rhizomes and overcrowded grass roots
as well as lateral weed growth. It stifles the growth and health of the
lawn. Removing thatch encourages the lawn to thicken up and makes
it stronger and less susceptible to disease. Reducing the thatch level
increases the levels of water, air and nutrients that can get through to
the root zone of the grass plants.
WARNING!
Always switch the product off and disconnect it from power
supply before making any adjustments!
