logos (see Fig. 2)
1 = Warning!
Thoroughly read the instructions before starting
to use the machine.
2 = Keep other persons (and animals) away from
the danger zone.
3 = Wear hearing and eye protection.
4 = Pull the plug out of the power socket before
doing any work on the tine roller!
5 = Rotating tine roller
6 = Do not place your hands or feet under the
rotating lawn aerator.
7 = Keep the power cable away from the machine.
This will eliminate the risk of the power cable
being shredded and destroyed by the rotating
tine roller.

4. Proper operation

Power supply
The lawn aerator can be connected to any light
socket (with 220/230 volts of alternating current).
However, the socket outlet must have an earthing
contact protected by a 16 A circuit breaker.
Additionally, a 30 mA residual current circuit breaker
should be present!
Power cable
Please only use power cables that are not damaged.
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
mm_. The insulating sheath of lawn aerator 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
Even though power cables with damaged insulation
sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use
them. Do not make this mistake!
