• Do not scarify on extremely steep slopes! Scarifying on slopes always involves risks. Your scarifier is powerful enough
to scarify slopes up to a gradient of 25°. For reasons of safety, however, we urgently recommend that you do not
attempt to exploit this theoretical potential capacity to the full. Hand-held scarifiers should never be used on slopes
steeper than 15°.
• Please be especially careful when turning the machine or pulling it towards yourself.
• If you walk backwards whilst using the machine, you can easily stumble so this should be avoided. Avoid unnatural body
positions. Ensure that you are standing securely and keep your balance at all times.
• Always observe the safety distance to the machine which is maintained by the handlebar.
• In order to avoid the machine slipping when being carried, always hold the machine by the grip devices provided
(carrying handle, housing, handlebar ends or transverse bar of the lower handlebar section). Do not grasp the machine
by the ejection flap!
• Note the weight of the machine before lifting or carrying it (see technical data). Lifting heavy weights can lead to health
problems.
• Never lift or carry the machine when the engine is running.
• Never operate the machine with damaged or missing safety or protective devices.
Safety devices include:
– Safety grip
In case of danger, release the safety grip: the motor will be switched off and the cutters will come to a
standstill. Warning! The cutters may take a few seconds to stop!
The function of the safety grip must not be deactivated.
It is important to make sure that the safety grip functions correctly. If it does not, have it repaired by an
authorised specialist workshop.

• Start or operate the starter switch with great care and according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
When you start the machine, make sure that your feet are at a sufficiently safe distance away from the cutting
blades.
When you start the engine, the machine must not be lying on its side or in a slanting position. If it is necessary to
hold the machine at a slant, always ensure that the cutting tools are pointing away from the person using the
machine, although only as far as absolutely necessary.
Never put your hands or feet near or under revolving parts. Always make sure that your hands or feet do not get
under the housing.
