Work interruptions:
•
After the implement has
been turned off, the
cutting cylinder will
continue to rotate for a
few seconds. Keep hands
and feet well away.
• Do no
t touch the spring
tines before the implement
has been disconnected
from the mains and the
spring tines have come to
a complete standstill. Risk
of injury owing to a sharp
implement!
• On
ly remove plant parts
when the implement is
standing completely still.
Ensure that the grass
ejector opening is clean
and free.
•
Switch off the power
when the implement is to
be transported, lifted or
tilted and when traversing
other surfaces than grass.
• Neve
r leave the
implement unattended at
the place of work.
Children should be
supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the
appliance.
•
Always switch off the
implement and disconnect
the power plug:
- Whenever you leave the
implement
- Before you clean the
ejector opening or
unblock or unclog the
implement
- When the implement is
not being used
- During all maintenance
and cleaning work
- When the power cable
is damaged or has
become tangled
- When the implement
hits an obstruction
during work or when
unusual vibrations arise.
Establish the cause and
see if the implement has
been damaged. Do not
repair it yourself! Have
agencies.
•
Treat the implement with
the greatest care. Always
keep the tool clean for
better and safer work.
Follow the maintenance
instructions.
• Neve
r overload the
implement. Always work
within the specified
capacity range. Do not
use low-power machines
for heavy-duty work. Do
not operate the implement
for purposes for which it
is not intended.

! The
following states how
to avoid accidents and
injuries due to electric
shock:
• Be
fore each use, carry
out a visual inspection of
the power and extension
cables for signs of
damage or ageing.
Damaged mains power
cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Connec
t the implement to
a power socket with a
residual-current circuit
breaker that has a rated
current of not more than
30 mA.
•
Always keep the
extension cable well
away from the cutting
tools.
Should the power cable
become damaged during
work, then instantly
disconnect the power
cable from the mains.

The shorter the grass, the better the
lawn can be treated. Furthermore,
the implement is less stressed and
the service life of the cylinder is pro-
longed.
•
The implement can be operated with or
without the collection bag.
Recommendation: Work with the collec-
tion bag for aerating and without the
collection bag for verticuting.
•
Mow the lawn to the required grass
height.
•
may otherwise wind around the scari-
equipment.
•
Select the appropriate working or
readjustment position (in the event of
cylinder wear) so that the implement is
not overloaded.
•
Commence work in the vicinity of the
power socket and proceed away from
the socket.
•
Always ensure that the extension cable
is behind you, and after turning move
it to the side that has already been
treated.
•
Guide the implement at a walking
pace down lanes that are as straight as
possible. To ensure uninterrupted
aerating or verticuting the individual
lanes should always overlap by a few
centimetres. Dwelling too long at the
same place while the implement is
running can damage the grass sward.
•
To ensure that the extension cable is not
an impediment, turn the implement in
such a manner that the cable strain
relief on the bar always faces the side
that has been treated.
•
Adjust the transport position 0 setting
(see “Setting the Working Position”)
when transporting the implement.
•
Lift the implement to transport it over
steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).
•
Always clean the implement after each
use (see “Cleaning/Maintenance”).
•
After having treated lawns with dense
moss growth, it is advisable to reseed
the lawn so that it can regenerate itself
quicker.

WARNING! The cylinder continues
to run for a brief period
after the implement has
been switched off. Do not tilt
or carry the implement while
the motor is still running and
do not touch the cylinder
while it is still rotating. Danger
of injury!
Working with the implement
To maintain a well cared-for lawn it should
be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks.
Verticuting is a more intensive intervention
than aerating and should only be carried
out once a year, the best time being in
spring after the lawn has been mown for
When working on slopes
always proceed across the
slope. Be particularly careful
when walking backwards
and pulling the implement.
Danger of stumbling!
After work and to transport the im-
plement disconnect the power plug
and wait until the cylinder is stand-
ing still.
