Page: 33 / 76

The electrical equipment may not be altered.
Faulty cables must be replaced.
The protective devices must not be modified.
When you start the machine, make sure that your feet are at a sufficiently
safe distance away from the cutting tool.
When the engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end,
if necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that
the cutting tool is pointing in the direction away from the user, but only
as far as absolutely necessary. As long as the device does not have
all 4 wheels on the ground, both of your hands must be on the top part
of the bar.
Never put your hands or feet near or under revolving parts. Always make
sure that your hands or feet do not get under the housing.
Switch the engine off by releasing the engine stop safety control bar, and
make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill and
the safety key is removed:
– if you have to leave the machine unsupervised;
– before you inspect the cable;
– before you inspect, clean or carry out work on the machine;
– when you have to lift or tilt the machine, e.g. for transportation;
– when you need to transport the machine to and from the area to be
scarified;
– before you remove the battery from or insert it into the engine’s
battery compartment!
– before you remove or attach the grass collecting bag;
– when driving off the lawn;
– before unblocking jams or removing blockages in the ejection
channel;
– if a foreign body has been encountered;
– if a fault occurs;
– if the machine starts to vibrate strangely .
• If a foreign object has been encountered or if the machine becomes blocked, e.g.
by driving onto an obstacle, an authorised workshop must check whether parts of
the device have been damaged or deformed. Always have any necessary repairs
done by an authorised workshop too.
• If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises,
please have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Heavy vibrations on your hands can damage your health. Please contact an
authorised workshop immediately if heavy vibrations occur.
Switch the engine off by releasing the engine stop safety control
bar and make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill,
– when you have to lift or tilt the scarifier e.g. for transportation;
– when you need to transport the machine to and from the area to be
scarified
– when driving off the lawn;
– if you have to leave the machine for a short time;
– if you wish to adjust the scarifying depth;
– before you remove the grass collecting bag.
• WARNING
The noise and vibration levels shown in these operating instructions are
the maximum levels for use of the machine.
The use of unbalanced cutting tools, the excessive speed of movement,
or the absence of maintenance have a significant influence on noise
emissions and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take
preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to high levels of noise
and stress from vibration.
Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks
while working.
Adhere to the maintenance work listed in this operating manual and have
the device checked and serviced regularly by an authorised workshop.
Maintenance and storage
• Insufficient device maintenance will lead to safety-related faults.
• Ensure that all screws have been tightened securely and that the device is in
a safe working condition.
The ejection flap must only be opened and the grass collecting bag
removed when the engine is turned off and the blades are at a standstill.
Before you start scarifying, always check the grass collecting equipment
for wear or loss of functionality.
Before you start scarifying, always check the condition and firm
attachment of the cutter shaft. Worn or damaged blades must
always be replaced. Always have a specialist workshop replace the
cutter or carry out work on the cutter shaft. If the cutter shaft is
assembled incorrectly, parts can become loose, which can lead to
serious injuries.
• For reasons of safety, always replace worn or damaged parts.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and
cleaning work.
Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out on level
surfaces with the engine switched off and the safety key removed.
When carrying our maintenance on the cutter, please note that
the cutter can still be moved even when the power source is
switched off. Regular maintenance is essential for safety and top
performance.
Always keep the device in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of
reach of children.
Before storing the machine, always remove the battery and the safety key
in order to prevent unauthorised operation of the machine.
Do not clean the device under running water or with a high-pressure
cleaner.
The electrical system may be damaged.
• Only store the scarifier with the cutter shaft raised. A lowered cutter shaft may
bend over time and compromise the operational safety of the scarifier.
For reasons of warranty and safety, only genuine spare parts may be used.
Non-equivalent spare parts can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
