Never use the implement to level out uneven patches.
• Always wear appropriate protective work clothes and firm shoes with non-slip soles, strong long trousers, ear defenders and goggles. Never operate the implement while bare footed or when wearing open sandals. The protective devices and your personal protective equipment will protect yourself and other people and ensure that the equipment can be smoothly operated
- Never operate the implement if it is damaged, incomplete or has been modified without the consent of the manufacturer. Never work with damaged or missing protective devices (e.g. starting lever, unlocking knob, impact protector). Never disengage protective devices (e.g. by tying the starting lever). This ensures that the equipment remains safe.
- Before starting the equipment, ensure that no objects or branches are pushed into the blade opening, that the equipment is standing stably and that the workspace is tidy and not blocked.
Check the condition of your extension cable and the connecting cable of your equipment. Use the necessary protective equipment. There is a risk of injury.
- If your equipment vibrates or emits unusual noises when switched on, disconnect the plug from the socket and check the cutting cylinder. Ensure that no remains of chopped matter are blocking the cutting cylinder or jammed between the blades. If you find no problems, return the equipment to a customer service centre.
- If the blades no longer cut correctly or if the motor is overloaded, check all the parts of your equipment and replace the worn parts. If a more extensive repair is required, contact a customer service centre.
Use:
- CAUTION – A very sharp tool. Avoid cutting your fingers or toes. While working always keep your feet and fingers well away from the cutting cylinder and the ejector opening. There is the danger of serious injury!
- Do not operate the implement while it is raining, in poor weather conditions and when the surrounding area and lawn are wet. Operate the implement only during daylight hours or
with bright lighting. There is a risk of accidents.
- Do not operate the implement if you are tired or are lacking in concentration and after having drunk alcohol or taken medicine. Always take a work break in due time. Approach the work with common sense. A moment of carelessness when using the equipment can result in serious injury.
- Familiarize yourself with the terrain and remain focused on the potential hazards that you could miss on account of the motor noise.
- Always maintain a secure footing while working, especially on a sloping terrain. Always work across slopes - never up and down! Be particularly careful when changing the travelling direction. Do not work on very steep slopes. This enables you to control the equipment better in unexpected situations.
- Always guide the implement at a walking pace with both hands on the handle. Be especially careful when you turn the implement around or draw it towards you. Danger of stumbling!
- Start or actuate the starting lever with care and in conformity with the directions in these Instructions.
- Do not tilt the implement when starting, other than it has to be lifted. In this case tilt the implement only to the extent that is absolutely necessary and always lift the implement on the side that is opposite to the operator.
- Never operate the implement without the attached collection bag or impact protector. Danger of injury! Always keep well away from the ejector opening.
- Do not operate the implement in the vicinity of inflammable liquids or gases as this could give rise to the danger of a fire or explosion.
• Always disconnect the plug from the mains socket before working.
Work intervals:
• After the implement has been turned off, the cutting cylinder will continue to rotate for a few seconds. Keep hands and feet well away.
- Do not touch the spring tines before the implement has been disconnected from the mains and the spring tines have come to a complete standstill. Risk of injury owing to a sharp implement!
- Only remove plant parts when the implement is standing completely still. Ensure that the grass ejector opening is clean and free.
- Switch off the power when the implement is to be transported, lifted or tilted and when traversing other surfaces than grass.
- Never leave the implement unattended at the place of work. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Always switch off the implement and disconnect the power plug:
- Whenever you leave the implement
GB
- Before you clean the ejector opening or unblock or unclog the implement
- When the implement is not being used
- During all maintenance and cleaning work
- When the power cable is damaged or has become tangled
- When the implement hits an obstruction during work or when unusual vibrations arise. Establish the cause and see if the implement has been damaged. Do not repair it yourself! Have the implement repaired by an authorised workshop!
- Store the implement in a dry place well out of reach of children.
CAUTION! The following states how to avoid damage to the implement and any resulting harm to people:
Take care of your implement:
- Switch off the power when the implement is to be carried across steps.
- Inspect the implement each time before it is to be used. Never operate the implement if safety devices (e.g. impact protector, parts of the cutting facility or bolts are missing, worn out or damaged. Check especially the power cable and starting lever for damage. To avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts must be exchanged as complete sets.
- Only use spare parts and accessories that have been supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of alien parts results in the immediate loss of all guarantee claims.
- Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are firmly tightened and that the implement is in a safe working state.
- Never try to repair the implement yourself, other than you have been trained accordingly. All work that has not been listed in these Instructions must only be carried out by authorised servicing agencies.
- Treat the implement with the greatest care. Always keep the tool clean for better and safer work. Follow the maintenance instructions.
- Never overload the implement. Always work within the specified capacity range. Do not use low-power machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the implement for purposes for which it is not intended.
Electrical safety:
CAUTION! The following states how to avoid accidents and injuries due to electric shock:
- Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of the power and extension cables for signs of damage or ageing. Damaged mains power cables increase the risk of electric shock.
- Connect the implement to a power socket with a residual-current circuit breaker that has a rated current of not more than 30 mA.
• Always keep the extension cable well away from the cutting tools.
Should the power cable become damaged during work, then instantly disconnect the power cable from the mains. DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER CABLE BEFORE IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS! Risk of electric shock.
- If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent of the same or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.
- Keep the extension cables away from the sprung tines. The tines may damage the cables and result in contact with live parts.
- Check that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate.
- Avoid body contact with earthed parts (e.g. metal fences, metal posts). There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
- Only use approved extension cables of the type H05RN-F with a maximum length of 75 m and which have been approved for open-air use. The stranded cord diameter of the extension cable must be at least 2.5 mm ^2 .
Always unreel a cable drum to its full length so that the entire cable can be checked for damage.
- Use the envisaged cable suspension when attaching an extension cable.
- Never pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
- If the connecting cable is damaged, first disconnect the extension cable from the socket. You can then disconnect the connecting cable of the equipment.

Setting the working positions
natural_image
Simple line diagram of a truck with three vertical bars and circular icons above (no text or symbols)The implement has 4 principal position settings:
Transport position:
This position sets the maximum safety spacing between the tool and the floor.
Working position:
Set this position when working with a new implement.
Readjustment positions:
The working position can be lowered with increased knife and sprung tine wear. Wear can be identified from an increasingly poor result.
The readjusting depth amounts to approx. 3 mm per setting.
When the impairment is delivered it is in the Transport Position setting
- Check that the appliance is turned off before adjusting the working position.
- Pull up the adjusting knob (see A, no. 10). Turn the knob as appropriate and push it down to snap in. Use your other hand to hold the appliance.
The setting button is not intended for height adjustment but rather to compensate for wear. Selection of a readjustment position without the corresponding wear can overload the motor and damage the cylinder.
Switching on and off
Before switching on the implement ensure that it is not in contact with any objects. Keep your feet and hands well away from the cylinder and the ejector opening. Danger of injury!
-
Place the implement on a level lawn surface.
-
Form a loop in the end of the power cable and hang it into the strain relief (15).
- Connect the implement to the mains voltage.
- To switch on press the unlocking button on the handle (14) and simultaneously press the starting lever (16). Release the unlocking button (14).
- To switch off release the starting lever (16).
Overload protection: The motor is automatically switched off when the implement is overloaded. Release
GB
the starting lever and reset the implement after a cooling down period of approx. 1 minute.
WARNING! The cylinder continues to run for a brief period after the implement has been switched off. Do not tilt or carry the implement while the motor is still running and do not touch the cylinder while it is still rotating. Danger of injury!
Working with the implement
To maintain a well cared-for lawn it should be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks.
Verticuting is a more intensive intervention than aerating and should only be carried out once a year, the best time being in spring after the lawn has been mown for the first time.
When working on slopes always proceed across the slope. Be particularly careful when walking backwards and pulling the implement. Danger of stumbling!
The shorter the grass, the better the lawn can be treated. Furthermore, the implement is less stressed and the service life of the cylinder is prolonged.
- The implement can be operated with or without the collection bag.
Recommendation: Work with the collection bag for aerating and without the collection bag for verticuting. - To ensure that the collision guard flap closes properly, remove any earth that may have collected on the collision guard springs and/or the housing.
When working without the bag, check that the collision guard flap is tightly closed.
- Mow the lawn to the required grass height.
- Do not use the scarifier in long grass. It may otherwise wind around the scarifier blade and result in damage to the equipment.
- Select the appropriate working or readjustment position (in the event of cylinder wear) so that the implement is not overloaded.
- Commence work in the vicinity of the power socket and proceed away from the socket.
• Always ensure that the extension cable is behind you, and after turning move it to the side that has already been treated. - Guide the implement at a walking pace down lanes that are as straight as possible. To ensure uninterrupted aerating or verticuting the individual lanes should always overlap by a few centimetres. Dwelling too long at the same place while the implement is running can damage the grass sward.
- To ensure that the extension cable is not an impediment, turn the implement in such a manner that the cable strain release on the bar always faces the side that has been treated.
After work and to transport the implement disconnect the power plug and wait until the cylinder is standing still.
- Adjust the transport position setting (see "Setting the Working Position") when transporting the implement.
-
Lift the implement to transport it over steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).
-
Always clean the implement after each use (see “Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage”).
- After having treated lawns with dense moss growth, it is advisable to reseed the lawn so that it can regenerate itself quicker.
Exchanging the cylinder
Switch off the implement, disconnect the mains plug and wait until the cylinder is standing still.
Wear gloves when handling the cylinder.
-
Turn the implement over.
-
Release the fastening screw (20) and fold the bearing cover (21) away.
- Tilt the cylinder upwards and pull the shaft (19) out of its seat.
- Insert the new cylinder by reversing the sequence.
Cleaning, maintenance, storage
Work that has not been de- scribed in these Instructions must be carried out by a servic- ing agency authorised by us. Only use original parts.
Wear gloves when handling the cylinder.
Prior to all maintenance and cleaning work always switch off the implement, disconnect the plug from the power socket and wait until the cylinder is standing still.
General cleaning and maintenance work
Do not jet water onto the implement and do not clean it under flowing water. This would result in the danger of an electric shock and the implement could be damaged.
- When work has finished remove plant residues adhering to the wheels, inside the ventilation opening, the grass ejector opening and the cylinder. Do not use hard or pointed objects for this purpose as they could damage the implement.
- To ensure that the collision guard flap closes properly, remove any earth that may have collected on the collision guard springs and/or the housing.
- Completely empty the collection bag.
• Always keep the implement clean. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
We cannot be held liable for damage caused by our implements if they were improperly repaired, if non-original parts have been used or if they were used not in keeping with their intended purpose.
Storage
- Store the implement in a dry place well out of reach of children.
- Allow the motor to cool down before placing the implement in a closed room.
- Do not wrap nylon sacks around the implement as this could result in the formation of moisture.
To store the appliance, you can reduce its footprint by loosening the wing nuts (12a/b) and folding down the bar.
Ensure that the cables are not squeezed.
