OPERATION
– Always work at right angles to the slope, never up or
down.
– Be especially careful when changing the direction of travel
on a slope.
– Do not work on excessively steep slopes.
– Switch off the scarifier and unplug the mains plug from
the socket. Wait until the roller has come to a standstill
before loosening blockages or removing blockages in the
discharge opening.
– If you interrupt the work, stop the scarifier and pull the
power plug from the socket.
– Switch off the scarifier and wait until the roller has come
to a standstill before removing or attaching the collection
bag.
– Always wear sturdy shoes and long pants when working
with the scarifier. Do not work barefoot or in light sandals.
– Wear hearing protection when using the scarifier.
– Wear safety glasses when using the scarifier.
– Always wear a breathing mask in very dusty working
environments.
Over time, lawns form a felt layer of stalks, shoots or
moss. In addition, the turf hardens, which reduces
the soil’s ability to absorb water. Therefore, you
should scarify the lawn twice a year. Spring is
particularly recommended as soon as the ground
frost has thawed. A second scarifying in late summer
allows enough regeneration time before winter. If the
grass surfaces are very matted, you should scarify
lengthwise and crosswise.
You can also aerate the lawn as required. The lawn
should be mowed before.
Make sure that there is sufficient watering after each
mowing so that the exposed lawn does not dry out.

OPERATION
Two rollers are included in delivery:

moss and lawn felt and collect them in a Grass Catcher 21.
– The scarifying roller 15 is useful for regenerating lawn care.
WARNUNG!
Warning
Danger from sharp knives and prongs!
The scarifier uses a fast rotating roller with sharp blades or
tines. You could injure yourself or others if handled carelessly.
Small objects (stones, sticks, wires, bones, etc.) can be
thrown away from the machine by the rotation of the roller.
This could cause serious injury to yourself or others.
– Check that you have correctly assembled the scarifier
before use.
– Wear protective gloves when inserting the roller to avoid
injury.
1. Place the scarifier on an even and dry surface.
2. Make sure that the scarifier is not connected to the power
supply.
