GENERAL MOWING TIPS
When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings. It is recommended that you cut longer grass in stages. Start at a
higher cutting height and go over the same area a second time with a lower cutting height.
Do not cut wet grass; it will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper collection or
discharge of grass clippings.
New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height.
Empty the grass box regularly, the discharge chute will become blocked with grass cuttings.
The mower is designed to operate and cut most effectively when moving forwards.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The product has an overload protection device. When overloading is detected, the product will
automatically switch off. If the overload protector is actuated, the motor must be allowed to
cool down for 5 to 10 minutes.
Turn off the power and remove the plug from the supply. The blades are sharp, wear heavy duty
gloves before touching. Make sure the blade can rotate freely and is not jammed or tight.
When the motor is cool, connect the plug to the power supply, turn the power on. Press the
Safety Button & then the Trigger to start the product. If the product will still not start, return it
to an authorised service centre for repair.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
Allow the machine to cool before storing.
Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, & deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check & replace them with the
manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.
Mower blades are sharp and can be dangerous. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra
caution when servicing them.
INTENDED USE
This scarifier & rake is designated with a rated input of 1300 Watts. Depending on the fitted
cutting device, this product is intended for either scarifying and removing thatch from lawns or for
raking in domestic and hobby gardens.
This product is not to be used in wet weather conditions and may not be used on overly dry, wet
or unusually high grass, e. g. pasture grass or for shredding leaves.
This product is intended for private domestic use only, not for any commercial trade use. It must
not be used for any purposes other than those described.
GENERAL SCARIFYING TIPS
When used as a scarifier, this product works by scratching through & between the grass with
specially adapted prongs to collect & remove any unwanted thatch from the lawn, whilst leaving
the grass intact. At the same time the product scarifies the ground resulting in a better airing.
Consider the weather when scarifying. Scarify the lawn with an increased depth setting during
spring time between April & May as the lawn is better able to recover during this season. During a
wet summer, scarify again in late summer with a decreased depth setting. Do not scarify during
periods of hot weather. During a dry rainless summer, do not scarify a second time in autumn.
GENERAL RAKING TIPS
When used as a rake, the fine needles will scratch the surface of the lawn while simultaneously
picking light debris for better oxygen absorption, airing and draining.
In order that a healthy lawn can develop in the spring, it is necessary for greater amounts of air
to penetrate the area around the roots of the grass. We recommend that you aerate the lawn
every 4 - 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
