specified by the manufacturer. Using a charger with an 

incompatible battery pack may create a risk of fire. Use 

battery pack only with charger listed.

 

Use only battery pack that is intended specifically for 

the product. The use of any other battery packs may 

result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

 

When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 

other metal objects like, paper clips, coins, keys, nails, 

screws, or other small metal objects that can make a 

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the 

battery pack terminals together may cause sparks, 

burns, fire, or explosion.

 

Do not place battery products or their batteries near 

fire or heat. This increases the risk of explosion and 

possibly injury.

 

Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released 

electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the 

eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed. 

 

Protect the battery pack against moisture and water. 

Do not charge the product in a damp or wet location. 

Following this rule reduces the risk of electric shock. 

 

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, 

vapour may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek 

medical help in case of complaints. The vapour can 

irritate the respiratory system. 

 

Do not leave the battery pack inside a vehicle in hot or 

cold conditions.

 

Do not incinerate the battery.

 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, 

flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally 

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may 

cause irritation or burns.

SCARIFIER SAFETY WARNINGS

 

The scarifier drum on the product is sharp. Use extreme 

caution and wear heavy-duty gloves when fitting, 

replacing, cleaning, or checking bolt security.

 

Check that all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners 

are properly secured and that guards and screens are 

in place. Replace damaged or unreadable labels.

 

Replace worn or damaged parts before operating the 

product.

 

Install the debris collector before scarifying. Empty the 

debris collector when it is full, and reinstall it before 

resuming operation.

 

The product must be started with the user behind the 

handlebars in the operator safety zone. Never start the 

product if:

 

not all four wheels are on the ground

 

the debris discharge chute is exposed and is 

not protected by the debris collector and debris 

discharge chute cover.

 

Never operate the product if the on/off switch on the 

handlebar does not properly start and stop the product.

 

Never lock the on/off switch in the on position. Locking 

the on/off switch in the on position is extremely 

dangerous.

 

Do not force the product. It will do the job better and 

safer at the speed for which it was designed. 

 

Stop the scarifier drum when crossing gravel surfaces. 

 

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the 

product towards you.

 

Stop the scarifier drum if the product has to be tilted 

for transportation when crossing surfaces other than 

grass, and when transporting the product to and from 

the work area.

 

Never use the product with defective guards or shields, 

or without safety devices, such as deflectors or debris 

collectors, in place.

 

Do not tilt the product when turning on the motor, except 

if the machine has to be tilted for starting. If absolutely 

necessary, you may lift only the part that is away from 

the operator. Always ensure that both hands are in the 

operating position before returning the machine to the 

ground.

 

Turn on the product carefully according to the 

instructions, and keep hands and feet away from the 

scarifier drum. Do not put hands or feet near or under 

rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at 

all times.

 

Never pick up or carry the product while it is running.

 

Turn off the product, and disconnect it from the power 

supply. Make sure that all moving parts have come to 

a complete stop:

 

whenever leaving the product unattended (including 

disposal of grass clippings).

 

before cleaning a blockage or unclogging the 

discharge chute

 

before checking, cleaning or working on the product 

 

after striking a foreign object; inspect the product 

for damage and make repairs as necessary before 

restarting and operating the product.

 

Check the product immediately if the product starts to 

vibrate abnormally:

 

inspect for damage

 

replace or repair any damaged parts

 

check for and tighten any loose parts

 

Avoid  holes,  ruts,  bumps,  rocks,  property  stakes,  or 

other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a 

slip-and-fall accident.

 

Release the handle immediately and stay away from 

the product:

 

if the product catches fire

 

if the guard and/or housing is broken

 

if abnormal sound occurs

 

if any accident or breakdown occurs

 

Always  ensure  that  the  motor  control  cable  is  never 

trapped, pinched, or damaged during assembly or 

when folding the handle.

 

Make sure that the scarifier drum is at a complete stop 

before removing or installing the debris collector.

 

Do not touch moving hazardous parts before the 

batteries are removed from the product and the moving 

hazardous parts have come to a complete stop.
