hold it in position during operation (Fig. 18).

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 larger then the motor 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.
Let the product cool down and eliminate the cause before using the product again.

Product functions
NOTE: The working depth must be set correctly before the product
is used for the first time. The working depth may be set at setting 1
initially. If the blades/tines are worn, the working depth must be re-
adjusted subsequently. An optimum working depth is obtained when
the blades/tines are inserted 2-3 mm into the ground. If the working
depth is too deep, the motor may be overloaded and cause damage.
Operation
General operation
1. Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as accessories for damage
before each use. Do not use the product if it is damaged or shows wear.
2. Double check that attachments are properly fixed.
3. Push the product forward by its handle. Keep the handle dry to ensure safe support.
4. Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if
necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage
the product.
5. Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other
people entering the working area. Always let the product come to complete stop before
averting.
6. Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the
work and have full control over the product.
7. Mow the lawn before working and fertilise afterwards.
8. Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects that could
damage the product or its motor
9. Select the suitable working depth for the actual grass height.
10. Do not work with this product on a wet lawn because it tends to stick to the
underbody of the product, preventing the proper discharge of collected material,
and it could also cause you to slip and fall.
11. Slowly push the product forward. Move the product at appropriate speed. Do not
move it too fast to prevent the discharge opening from getting blocked and motor from
unnecessary overloading.
12. Work in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern
for processing lawns is straight lines along one of the sides.
This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is
processed without missing any spots. (Fig. 19)
13. Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed in
the middle of the lawn, make a row or two around the
circumference of the bed.
14. Pay special attention when changing direction.
