Intended Use
1.
This sca dethatcher is designated with a 13 amp
motor. Depending on the fitted cutting device, this
machine is either intended for scarifying and removing
thatch from lawns or raking in domestic and hobby
gardens.
2.
When used as a scarifier, this machine works by
scratching through and between the grass with specially
adapted prongs that collect and remove any unwanted
parts from the lawn while leaving the grass blades intact.
At the same time the machine scarifies the ground
resulting in a better aeration.
3.
When used as a dethatcher the fine needles will scratch the
surface of the lawn while simultaneously picking up light
debris for better oxygen absorption, airing and drainage.
4. This machine is not to be used in wet weather conditions
and may not be used to mow dry, wet or unusually high
grass, e.g., pasture grass or for shredding leaves.
5.
This machine is intended for private domestic use only,
not for any commercial trade use. It must not be used for
any purposes other than those described.
