4 PROPER USE
• The machine is intended solely for scarifying grass and lawn surfaces in the course of normal garden and landscaping
care (“Proper use”). Any further form of use constitutes improper use; the manufacturer accepts no liability for any
resulting damage; the risk is borne solely by the user. Proper use of the machine also includes the observation of the
operating, maintenance and servicing requirements specified by the manufacturer.
• If used in public areas, parks, sports grounds, on roads and in agricultural and forest areas, special care must be taken.
• The scarifier must not be used in particular for the removal of weeds between stones or paving stones, on terraces or
paths, as a rotavator or for levelling uneven areas of ground, such as molehills.
• The use of any additional devices not approved by SABO is prohibited. If such additional devices are used, this
invalidates the CE conformity and any warranty claims. Unauthorized modifications to this machine rule out any liability
on the part of the manufacturer for resulting damages.
