HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
How to use the scarifier (using scarifying roller 10)
• By scarifying you remove the hardened surface, grass
felt and flat-growing weeds and the crusted over grass-
roots are loosened up. The lawn will start to breath
again and assimilate the nourishing substances, oxy-
gen and water. This also prevents the establishing of
bacteria in the lawn felt during the wintertime.
• Cut the grass to a height of about 40 mm before scari-
fying. The lawn must be dry when using the machine.
The best time for an scarifying is any time during the
vegetative season, from end April through to Septem-
ber. Scarify it at least once a year. We recommend us-
ing a fertilizer straight after airing if you want a green
carpet.
How to use the raker (using rake roller 11)
• By raking you remove the dead matter, moss and
weed which disfigures a lawn. The build up of dead
grass provides a mat of absorbent fibres which pre-
vents water getting through to the ground.
• Do not force your rake through grass that is longer
than 75mm. The lawn must be dry when using the ma-
chine. It's recommend that your raker is used at the
beginning and the end of each grass cutting season
to give your lawn a thorough raking. Your raker should
also be used after each mowing to remove any grass
cutting that may be left by your mower.
Switching On / Off (Fig. 11 and 12)
• This Machine is provided with an electric safety switch
against accidental starts. Push the safety lock-off but-
ton (2a) on the switchbox, then pull the switch lever
(2b) towards the handle (Fig. 12). After the tool has
been switched on, you do not have to hold the switch-
on lock (2a) any longer.
• The top handle is equipped with a hooked ring (3)
which holds the extension cable. Hook the cable to
protect socket and plug from accidental tears (Fig. 11).
Danger!
After the motor has been switched off, the roller
continues to rotate for a few seconds – therefore,
do not put your hands under the appliance straight
away.
