10. GENERAL OPERATION
WARNING! In some countries regulations define at what
time of the day and on what special days products are
allowed to be used and what restrictions apply!
Ask your community for detailed information and observe
the regulations in order to preserve a peaceful neighbor
hood and avoid committing administrative offences!
WARNING! If the product strikes a foreign object stop
the motor! Switch the product off, disconnect it from the
power supply and let it cool down. Inspect the product
thoroughly for damage! Have any damage repaired be-
fore restarting!
WARNING! Extensive vibration of the product during op-
eration is an indication of damage! The product should be
promptly inspected and repaired!
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 han-
dle 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 dam-
age 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 en-
sure 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.
9. Select the suitable cutting depth for the actual grass
height.
10. Do not work with this product on a wet lawn because
it tends to stick to the underbody of the product, pre-
venting the proper discharge of collected material,
and it could also cause you to slip and fall.
11. Slowly push the product forward. Move the product at
appropriate speed. Do not move it too fast to prevent
the discharge opening from getting blocked and en-
gine from useless overloading.
12. Work in slight overlapping rows. The most effective
pattern for scarifying/raking lawns is straight lines
along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even
and ensures that all the lawn is scarified/raked with -
out missing any spots. (See Fig. 10).
13. Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower
bed in the middle of the lawn, make a row or two
around the circumference of the bed.
14. Pay special attention when changing direction.
15. Never tilt or transport appliance with running motor
16. Never leave the appliance unattended.
17. When leaving, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Checking by an expert is necessary
-after hitting an obstacle
-if the motor comes to an immediate standstill
-if the blades of the scarifier roller are bent
-if the toothed belt is defective
-if the wire leading to the motor is damaged
-if there are other damages.
GENERAL OPERATION (Fig. 13)
We recommend the directional method of operation to
obtain the maximum cutting performance from your unit
and to reduce the risk of the trailing the extension lead
from entering the cutting path.
• Place the bulk of the supply cable on the lawn close to
the starting point (position 1, Fig. 13).
• Hold the handle assembly with both hands.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate your Machine with
one hand - you must guide it with both hands. Do not
operate your machine on sanded, concrete or woodened
ground.
• Tilt the handle downwards to slightly raise the front of
your unit and to reduce the risk of lawn damage while
starting, depress the safety lock-off button (2a) on the
switchbox and while still depressed pull the switch le-
ver (2b) towards you. Your machine will start and you
can now allow the lock-off button (2a) to be released
and lower your Machine to its proper cutting position,
and commence cutting.
• Proceed down the cutting area as shown in Fig. 13,
working from position 1 towards position 2 and, on
reaching position 2, turn to the right and proceed to-
wards position 3. Always working away from the cable.
Do not adopt the method as shown in Fig. 14, working
towards the cable, as this is dangerous practice.
Adjusting the working depth
It is generally recommended to aerate the grass up to a
depth of max. 4 mm.
11. MAINTENANCE

the plug disconnected from the power supply.
1. Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,
dislodged or damaged chain and guide bar, loose fix -
ings and worn or damaged components.
