WARNING
Watch out for sharp blades! Contact with the rotating cutters can
cause severe hand and foot injuries.
When the motor/blade shaft is running, always observe the safety
distance to the machine which is maintained by the handlebar.
Ensure that your hands and feet do not get under the housing.
WARNING
Objects thrown upwards can cause serious injuries.
Before scarifying areas covered in leaves in particular, remove all
stones, sticks, wires, toys and other objects from the lawn.
Never use the equipment with the protective devices damaged or
missing.
Missing or damaged safety and protective devices are a safety hazard
for both you and other people.
Before initial use, check to make sure the cutting tool is fitted tightly,
then check the cutter blades for a tight fit, wear and damage every
time you do any scarifying work. Have an authorised workshop
replace worn or damaged blades.
Before starting the engine, check whether the tools have been
removed.
WARNING
Electric shock can cause serious injuries.
Keep the connecting cable away from the cutters.
Ensure when starting that the connecting cable is safely away from
the housing.
Do not run over the connecting cable when operating the machine.
In case of damage, switch the machine off, wait until the cutters have
come to a standstill and remove the plug from the socket. Faulty
connecting cables must be replaced.
CAUTION
If the mains plug is not disconnected from the mains during work on
the equipment, the motor may start up and this can result in serious
injuries.
Switch the motor off and disconnect the mains plug before carrying
out any maintenance and repair work. When servicing the cutter
blades note that they can be moved even when the voltage source is
switched off.
Consult the operating instructions for respective cleaning or
maintenance instructions.
Insufficient equipment maintenance will lead to safety-related faults.
WARNING
Contact with the rotating cutters can cause serious hand and foot
injuries. Objects ejected at high speed can cause severe injury.
Switch the motor off, and wait until the cutters come to a standstill:
– if the machine has to be lifted or tilted, e.g. in order to transport it;
– when moving the machine of the lawn on paths or roads;
– if the machine is left unsupervised for any time;
– before setting the scarifying depth;
– before removing the grass collector.
CAUTION
Contact with the sharp edges of the scarifier cutters can cause severe
injury.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and
cleaning work.
WARNING
Wear protective goggles!
Objects thrown upwards can cause serious injuries.
Never do any scarifying without wearing protective goggles.
5 PROPER USE
• The machine is intended solely for scarifying grass and lawn surfaces in the
course of normal garden and landscaping care (“Proper use”). Any further form of
use constitutes improper use; the manufacturer accepts no liability for any resulting
damage; the risk is borne solely by the user. Proper use of the machine also
includes the observation of the operating, maintenance and servicing requirements
specified by the manufacturer.
• If used in public areas, parks, sports grounds, on roads and in agricultural and
forest areas, special care must be taken.
• The scarifier must not be used in particular for the removal of weeds between
stones or paving stones, on terraces or paths, as a rotavator or for levelling
uneven areas of ground, such as molehills.
• The use of any additional equipment and attachments not approved by the
manufacturer is prohibited. If such additional equipment and attachments are used,
the CE conformity and guarantee are considered null and void. Unauthorised
modifications to this scarifier exclude the manufacturer from liability for any
damage resulting from these modifications.
6 GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR THE ELECTRIC
SCARIFIER
General safety instructions
For your own safety and in order to ensure that the machine functions

handed over to the purchaser of the machine in the event of resale.
• Never allow children or persons under the age of 16 or other persons who are not
familiar with the operator's manual to use the machine. Local regulations can
determine the minimum age of the person allowed to use the machine.
• Please explain the possible dangers and how to prevent accidents to every person
who is supposed to work with this machine. This machine may only be used,
maintained or serviced by persons who are familiar with the machine, and who are
aware of the possible dangers.
• This equipment is not meant to be used by persons with restricted physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lacking in experience and/or knowledge, unless
they are accompanied by a person responsible for their safety and unless they
received instructions from the person on how the equipment is to be used. This
responsible person must decide in advance, whether the person with restricted
physical, sensory or mental capabilities is suitable for this activity.
You must never scarify the lawn if there are other persons nearby,
especially children or animals.
• Please keep your machine in a safe place! Machines which are not being used
should be kept in a dry, locked room out of reach of children.
• Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.
• The laying of cables must not be manipulated, e.g. by removing cable clamps or
attaching additional cable ties! The cables must lie against the outside of the bar in
such a way that they are neither crushed nor overstretched when the bar is folded.
A damaged cable may result in a technical defect of the equipment.
Preparatory measures
• When scarifying you must always wear a strong, closed, non-slip pair of shoes or
safety shoes and long trousers. Avoid wearing loose clothing or clothing with cords
or belts hanging down. Do not scarify whilst you are barefooted or wearing
sandals. Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes.
• Loud noises can lead to hearing impairments. Wear ear protection.
Before and during scarifying, check the whole area the equipment is being
used on and remove all stones, sticks, wires, toys and other objects which
can be caught and catapulted out.
Before and during the scarifying process, check the area for live wires and
remove them if possible.
Never move over live wires when the cutting tool is switched on. Risk of
electric shock!
