In order to prevent the scarifi er from being
switched on unintentionally it comes with a safety
lock-off (Fig. 13/Item 2) on the push bar (Fig. 13/
Item 5) which has to be pressed before the
selector lever (Fig. 13/Item 1) can be pressed.
The start time of the equipment can amount to
several seconds. If the lever switch is released,
the scarifi er switches off . Repeat this process
several times so that you are sure that your
equipment functions properly. Always pull out the
safety plug before making adjustments or carrying
out maintenance, cleaning and repair work on the
equipment. Make sure that the blade shaft is not
turning.
Danger!
Never open the ejector fl ap when the motor
is running. The rotating cutting unit can cause
serious injuries. Always fasten the ejector fl ap
carefully. The fl ap fl 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 scarify along
the incline (not up and down). For safety reasons,
the scarifi er may not be used to scarify inclines
whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scarifi er (tripping hazard)!
Tips for proper scarifying
It is recommended that you overlap the scarifying
swaths.
There are two markings on the housing (Fig. 2/
Item 4) which correspond to the width of the
scarifying and dethatching blades.
Try to scarify in straight lines for nice, clean
scarifying results. In so doing, the swaths should
always overlap each other by a few centimeters in
order to avoid bare strips.
If you use the optionally available catch bag, you
have to empty it as soon as grass remnants start
to trail behind the scarifi er.
Danger! Before taking off the catch bag, switch off
the motor and wait until the cutting unit has come
to a stop.

To remove the grass bag, lift up the ejector fl ap
with one hand, while unhooking the bag with the
other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows and the hardness of the soil. Keep
the underside of the scarifi er housing clean and
remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it
more diffi cult to start the scarifi er and decrease
the quality of the scarifying. Always scarify in lines
across slopes, not up and down. Switch off the
motor before doing any checks on the cutting unit.
Danger!
The cutting unit rotates for a few seconds after
the motor is switched off . Never attempt to stop
the cutting unit. In the event that the cutting unit
strikes an object, immediately switch off the
scarifi er and wait for the cutting unit to come to a
complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the
cutting unit. Replace any parts that are damaged
(see section 7.3).
Tips for proper dethatching with the optionally
available dethatching blade.
Operation for dethatching is identical to scarifying.
Therefore, be sure to observe the foregoing notes
on work practice and safety information.
