13 GRASS COLLECTOR
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Operation with grass collector (accessory)
The scarifier can also be operated with a grass collector (Order no. – see Original replacement parts and accessories).
Attaching the grass collector to the scarifier (Illustration S1 )
– Open the ejection flap of the scarifier upwards.
– Pick up the collecting sack by the carrying strap and hang it in the scarifier casing with its two side hooks upwards.
– Attach ejection flap to collector.
When using the machine, ensure that the collector is emptied in good time. The grass collector will only collect grass properly
if air can pass through it freely. If the cutter is set too low the grass collection is impaired.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the grass collector with hot water!
Emptying the grass collector
– Switch of the motor and wait until the cutters come to a stop.
– Lift the ejection flap.
– Remove the full grass bag from the scarifier by the carrying strap – the ejection flap closes automatically.
– Shake out of the grass bag thoroughly, holding it by the carrying strap and the moulded handle on the bottom.
Operation without grass collector
WARNING
When scarifying without grass collector the ejection flap on the scarifier housing must always be closed (flap
down).
14 SCARIFIER OPERATION
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Using the machine on slopes
ATTENTION
The machine can be operated on slopes and inclines up to an angle of 25°.
For reasons of safety, however, we urgently recommend that you do not attempt to exploit this theoretical potential
capacity to the full. Hand-held scarifiers should never be used on slopes steeper than 15°.
Handling the cable during use
Position the cable in such a way that the machine can pull it along easily over the lawn surface that has already been
worked. When the machine turns the cable grip automatically positions the cable to the other handle side. Ensure that the
cable is kept well away from the cutters and that no loops are formed. Check the mains cable regularly for signs of damage
and only use it in proper condition.
Checking operating safety
Before using the machine, always ensure that the safety grip is functioning correctly. When the grip is released, the engine
must switch off and the cutters come to a standstill. Warning! The cutters may take a few seconds to stop!
Make sure that all safety devices are fitted properly and are not damaged.
Check the upper part of the bar (insulation) for damage. If the casing should be damaged, contact the nearest authorised
workshop without delay, since otherwise injuries (electric shock) can occur through touching the live parts.
After the first few operating hours, and at regular intervals thereafter, check and tighten all screws and nuts. Before using the
machine, and to avoid danger, always check the condition and firm seating of the blades (see Chapter “Maintenance of the
blade shaft”).
WARNING
Work on the blade shaft, or opening or removing any covers connected to the machine must be carried out only by
an authorised specialist workshop, since an insulation protection test to DIN EN 60335 must be carried out after
repair and maintenance work to insulation components (e.g. blade shaft, attachment fittings, covers).
