EINHELL GE-SA 1640 Mode D'emploi D'origine page 23

Important!
Before you ever hook the grass basket to the sca-
riÞ er you must ensure that the motor is switched
o and the cutting unit is not rotating.
Adjusting the handlebar height (see Fig. 15)
Undo the quick-release levers (Fig. 15/Item 13)
on both sides of the scariÞ er.
Important. The height of the handlebar can be
set to position 1 or 2 (Fig. 15) during operation.
You must then tighten the quick-release fasteners
again.
Important. The same tilt angle must be set on
both sides.
Adjusting the scariÞ er depth (see Fig. 16)
The scariÞ er depth is set with the adjustment me-
chanism. Pull the lever in the direction indicated
by the arrow (see Fig. 16) and adjust to the requi-
red position (0/ 1/ 2/ 3). Make sure that the lever
latches in place correctly!
0 = drive/transport position
1 = scariÞ er depth 3 mm
2 = scariÞ er depth 6 mm
3 = scariÞ er depth 9 mm
4 = scariÞ er depth 12 mm
Electrical connection
The equipment can be connected to any normal
socket with 230V AC. It is only acceptable to con-
nect it to a shockproof socket with a 16A circuit
breaker. Furthermore, a residual-current-operated
protective device with max. 30 mA should be con-
nected upstream.
Power cable
Please only use power cables that are not dama-
ged. The total length of the power cable should
not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance
will reduce the power output of the electric motor.
The power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x
1.5 mm2. The insulating sheath of scariÞ er power
cables is frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
•
Cracking from running over the cable
•
Pinching when the power cable is dragging
under doors and pulled through windows
•
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
•
Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable

The power cables must, at the very minimum, be
of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type
must be printed somewhere on the power cable.
Only purchase power cables that are marked as
such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power
cables must be made from rubber and be splash-
proof. There is a limit to how long power cables
can be. Longer power cables require larger con-
ductor cross-sections. Power cables and connec-
ting lines must be regularly checked for damage.
Ensure that the lines are de-energized before
checking them. Completely unwind the power
cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs
and socket couplers for kinks.
6. Operation
Connect the machine's power supply cable to the
plug (Fig. 17/Item A) and secure the power cable
with the stress-relief clip (Fig 17/Item 4).
Important! To prevent accidental start-up of
the equipment, the push-bar (Fig. 18 / Item 5) is
equipped with a safety lock-o (Fig. 18 / Item 2)
which must be pressed before the lever switch
(Fig. 18 / Item 1) can be pressed. If the lever
switch is released, the equipment switches o .
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before
you perform any repair or maintenance work on
the machine, ensure that the cutting unit is not ro-
tating and that the power supply is disconnected.
Important!
Never open the ejector ß ap when the motor is
running. A rotating cutting unit can cause injuries.
Always fasten the ejector ß ap carefully. The ß ap
ß ips back to the "Closed" position by the tension
springs!
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the housing. Be especially careful when
scarifying and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always sca-
rify along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the scariÞ er may not be used
to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scariÞ er (tripping hazard)!
