6. STARTING AND STOPPING
The product can be connected to any socket (with 230-240V
alternating current). We recommend to always use the
appliance via a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a
tripping current of max. 30mA.
1). Mains leads on scarifier are particularly susceptible to
insulation damage. The causes of this include the following:
- Cut the cable by passing over it with the scarifier.
- Damage through crushing if the mains lead is routed
under doors or windows.
- Cracks caused by ageing of the insulation sheath.
- Kinks caused by incorrect fastening or routing of the
mains lead.
2). Such damaged mains leads should not be used under
any circumstances as they may cause fatal injuries due to
their damaged insulation sheath.
3). Always check the plug and cable and make sure they are
in good condition before operation.
1). Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as
accessories for damage before each use. Do not use the
product if it is damaged or shows wear.
2). Double check that accessories are properly fixed.
3). Push the product forward by its handle. Keep the handle
dry to ensure safe support.
4). Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and
clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air
vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
5). Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed
while working by other people entering the working area.
Always let the product come to complete stop before putting
it down.
6). Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure
you can concentrate on the work and have full control over
the product.
7). Mow the lawn before working and fertilise afterwards.
8). Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or
other objects that could damage the product or its motor.
7. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The overload protection will be activated in the following
circumstances:
1). A build up of scarified material around the cutting device.
2). If the material scarified is larger then the motor capacity.
3). Where there is too much resistance against the cutting
device.
When the circuit breaker has been activated switch off the
product and disconnect from the power supply.
Let the product cool down and eliminate the cause before
using the product again.
