Setting the working depth (04)
Important!
Only set the working depth if the motor is switched
off and the blade shaft is stopped.
Set the working depth of the blade shaft at the dial
selector.
1. Tilt the scarifier backwards with the handlebar.
2. Push the twist switch down and turn it to level "1".
Positions on the dial selector:
1 - 5 = Setting the working depth (04)
With new blades, set the dial selector to posi-
tion 2 at most!
The correct working depth depends on:
the condition of the lawn
„
the wear on the blades
„
If the working depth is set too low:
the scarifier will stop
„
the motor will stall
„
In this case, move the dial selector back to a shallower
working depth.
Always mow the lawn before scarifying.

1. Push and hold the button of the safety pushbutton
switch (a).
2. Pull the operator presence control against the
handlebar (b). The motor starts.
The operator presence control does not lock in
place. It must be held in place all the time.
3. Release the button of the safety pushbutton
switch.
Switching off the motor (07)
1. Release the operator presence control (a). It auto-
matically returns to its initial position. The motor

momentum! After switching off, do not reach
under the machine straight away.
