1 INTRODUCTION

Dear Garden Lover,
Where pride in a trim lawn is coupled with a love of gardening, gardeners really
appreciate good gardening equipment. You have made an excellent choice in
purchasing your new scarifier. It combines the power of a major traditional brand with
the innovations of modern high-tech. You will feel this when you are working with it and
be very pleased with the wonderful result.
Yet before you start work on your lawn, here is some important information that you
should always observe.
Before you start your scarifier for the first time, read this operation manual through
carefully to familiarise yourself with the correct operation and maintenance of the
machine and to avoid injury or damage to your scarifier.
Use the scarifier carefully. The pictograms on the equipment draw your attention to the
most important precautionary measures.
The safety instructions in this operating manual are marked with symbols.
The meaning of the pictograms and symbols is explained in the following chapters.
The terms "left" and "right" always refer to the left and right-hand side of the equipment
seen in the direction of movement.
Your scarifier will work reliably when the technical instructions are followed exactly. We
would like to point out that any damage to the scarifier caused by operator faults is not
covered by warranty / guarantee obligations.
We hope you enjoy cultivating your lawn.

4 EXPLANATION OF THE SYMBOLS

WARNING
Always read and follow the operating instructions and general safety
regulations carefully. Keep the operating instructions for reference
purposes.
Proper use also includes adherence to the operation, maintenance
and service conditions prescribed by the manufacturer.
WARNING
Keep all persons outside the danger area!
Contact with the rotating cutters can cause severe injury.
Objects ejected at high speed can cause severe injury.
You must never scarify the lawn if there are other persons nearby,
especially children or animals.
WARNING
Electric shock can cause severe injuries.
The electrical equipment must not be modified.
Check the connecting cable regularly for signs of damage and ageing.
Ensure that the cable is free at all times, and not kinked, abraded or
trapped.
Faulty connecting cables must be replaced.
Do not spray the machine down with water. This could damage the
electrical system.
Always have the replacement of the blades carried out by an
authorized workshop, since an insulation protection test to DIN EN
60335 must be carried out after repair and maintenance work to
insulation components (e.g. blade shaft, attachment fittings).
WARNING
Electric shock can lead to serious injuries.
Never move over live wires when the cutting tool is switched on.
Before and during the scarifying process, check the area for live wires
and remove them if possible.
If a live wire is damaged, switch off the equipment and disconnect the
wire from the supply grid.
