The use without or with damaged devices is not permitted. Remove all foreign particles like stones, wood pieces, bones or similar from the lawn prior to scarifying / aerating. Check the operating tool for – tight fit of the attachment parts – damage or heavy wear and tear - When replacing observe installation instructions Examine line installed on the outside of the tool and the con- nection cable for damage and wear and tear (brittleness). Only use when no damages can be found. Repairs to the cable may only be carried out by a specialist. Check the grassbox more often for wear and tear. Before adjusting or cleaning of the tool or before checking whether the connection line has been knotted up or damaged switch off the tool and pull plug out of the socket. Cables 1 Attention! Electric shock through cable damage When the cable is cut through or damaged, the safety fuse doesn’t always trip. Do not touch cable, before pulling out the power plug from the socket. Damaged cable has to be completely replaced. Patching the cable with insulating tape is forbidden. Use only extension cables with a minimum cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm

and a length of max. 25 m: – When using rubber-sheathed cables, they must be of type HO 7 RN-F or heavier. – When using PVC-sheathed cables, they must be of type HO5 VV-F or heavier (cables of this type are not suitable for continuous outdoor use - e.g. underground installation for the connection of an outdoor socket or pond pump, or outdoor storage). Plugs and couplings must be protected from splashes. Use a residual current protection device (RCD) with a residual current not exceeding 30 mA. It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Careless or improper use of the machine may cause serious or fatal injury.

Fit the connection cable to the mains lead cleat. Do not allow to rub against edges or against sharp or pointed objects. Do not squeeze cables through tight door or window openings. Switch devices must not be removed or circumvented (e.g. connecting the switch lever to the handle bars) During starting up Only switch on motor when your feet are at a safe distance from the cutting tools. Do not tilt the machine when switching on the motor, unless the machine has to be tilted when starting. If that is the case, do not tip the machine more than absolutely necessary, and only lift the part furthest removed from the user. Always ensu- re that both hands are in the operating position before repla- cing the machine on the ground. During aerating / scarifying Warning, Danger! Cutting tool is lagging! Adhere to the safety distance given by the guidance spars. Never put your hands or feet near the rotating parts. Always keep away from the ejection opening. Only switch on motor when your feet are at a safe distance from the cutting tools. If possible, avoid the use of the unit when the grass is wet otherwise exercise extreme caution to avoid slipping. Always make sure that you have a safe footing, especially on slopes. Never run, always walk slowly. Do not use the unit on steep slopes. Always move the unit horizontally to the slope, never up and down. Take particular care when changing direction on inclined ground. Take particular care when turning the machine or when pulling it towards you. Stop the working tools if: – the machine needs to be tilted for transport. – if areas other than grass are to be crossed – when transporting the machine. Never use the unit when protective devices or housing parts are damaged or missing. Before lifting or removing the unit switch off motor and wait un- til the operating tools have come to a complete standstill. Before removing the grassbox or adjusting of the operating height switch off motor and wait for the complete standstill of the operating tools. Replace worn or damaged blades as a complete set. Observe installation instructions. For safety reasons always use origi- nal spare parts. Maintenance and cleaning procedures on the unit as well as removing the protective devices may only be carried out when the engine is switched off. Never store the unit in damp surroundings or near open fl ame. Should have run over an object with the unit it should be exa- mined by a specialist (see list of repair shops) for safety rea- sons. If the connection cable is damaged during use it must be dis- connected immediately. Do not touch the cable until it is dis- connected. Switch off the machine, pull the mains plug and wait for the machine to stop running if, for example: – leaving the machine – unblocking a blade – intending to check, clean or work on the machine – you have encountered a foreign object, in which case you should check the machine for damage and carry out any ne- cessary repairs. – the machine is vibrating heavily (switch off immediately and ascertain the cause). – you wish to change the settings or carry out cleaning work. – you wish to check whether the connection cables have be- come tangled or damaged. – If the connection cable is damaged during use, it must be immediately disconnected from the mains power supply. Do not touch the cable before it has been disconnected from the mains power supply. Maintenance 1 Attention! Rotary cutter blade Before all maintenance and cleaning work: Pull out the power plug.

Connecting to the mains (230 Volts, A.C., 50 Hz) The machine operates from any normal household mains sup- ply. 3 Note: Residual current protection device These protection devices safeguard while touching damaged wires, from insulation flaws and in certain cases, also while damaging live wires. We recommend that the equipment only be plugged into a power socket, which is protected by a residual current protection device (RCD) with a residual current of not more than 30 mA. Adjust operating depth 1 Caution! Only with motor switched off and non-mowing scarifying / aerating roller. 1 Caution! The working depth must be set correctly befo- re the unit is used for the first time. The hight adjust- ment lever may be moved to the first working depth setting only (position „1“) 3 Note If the blades/aerator tines are worn, the working depth must be readjusted subsequently. An optimum working depth is obtained when the blades/aerator tines of the cutter are in- serted 2–3 mm into the ground. If the working depth is too great, the unit may be overloaded and cause damage. Therefore, ensure that the working depth is set correctly. Increasing the working depth (cutters towards the ground) (a, b) – Set height adjustment lever (depending on model) accor- ding to wear. – Settings pos. „2, 3, 4“ are not required until the blades/aera- tor tines are worn. Depending on the degree of wear, gradu- ally set the blades lower, starting at pos. „2“. Reducing the working depth (a, c) 3 Scarifying / aerating test: Set height adjustment lever in working position „1, 2, 3,

Start tool On hearing stones being hit or blocking of the motor im- mediately switch off tool Reducing the working depth : Set height adjust- ment lever in working position „1, 2, 3, 4“. Start scarifying / aerating test again When used regularly the working depth may be adjusted ac- cording to the wear of the blade (+). Recommended working heights well kept lawns with stone-free, soft ground – Set tool exactly to ground height stony, untidy lawns – Set tool to ground height – Increase working height if stones are thrown up unkempt, extremely mossy lawns – Start with a high working height – Do not overload appliance (reduce working height if motor blocks) – Cut vertically and crossways several times Scarifying / aerating
