HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS

How to use the scarier (using scarifying roller 10)

• By scarifying you remove the hardened surface, grass felt and at-growing weeds and the crusted over grass- roots are loosened up. The lawn will start to breath again and assimilate the nourishing substances, oxy- gen and water. This also prevents the establishing of bacteria in the lawn felt during the wintertime.GB-9 GB | Operating Instructions

• Cut the grass to a height of about 40 mm before scari- fying. The lawn must be dry when using the machine. The best time for an scarifying is any time during the vegetative season, from end April through to Septem- ber. Scarify it at least once a year. We recommend us- ing a fertilizer straight after airing if you want a green carpet. How to use the raker (using rake roller 11)

• By raking you remove the dead matter, moss and weed which disgures a lawn. The build up of dead grass provides a mat of absorbent bres which pre- vents water getting through to the ground.

• Do not force your rake through grass that is longer than 75mm. The lawn must be dry when using the ma- chine. It’s recommend that your raker is used at the beginning and the end of each grass cutting season to give your lawn a thorough raking. Your raker should also be used after each mowing to remove any grass cutting that may be left by your mower. Switching On / O󰀨 (Fig. 11 and 12)

• This Machine is provided with an electric safety switch against accidental starts. Push the safety lock-o󰀨 but- ton (2a) on the switchbox, then pull the switch lever (2b) towards the handle (Fig. 12). After the tool has been switched on, you do not have to hold the switch- on lock (2a) any longer.

• The top handle is equipped with a hooked ring (3) which holds the extension cable. Hook the cable to protect socket and plug from accidental tears (Fig. 11). Danger! After the motor has been switched o󰀨, the roller continues to rotate for a few seconds – therefore, do not put your hands under the appliance straight away.

10. GENERAL OPERATION

WARNING! In some countries regulations dene at what time of the day and on what special days products are allowed to be used and what restrictions apply! Ask your community for detailed information and observe the regulations in order to preserve a peaceful neighbor hood and avoid committing administrative o󰀨ences! WARNING! If the product strikes a foreign object stop the motor! Switch the product o󰀨, disconnect it from the power supply and let it cool down. Inspect the product thoroughly for damage! Have any damage repaired be- fore restarting! WARNING! Extensive vibration of the product during op- eration is an indication of damage! The product should be promptly inspected and repaired!

1. Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as

accessories for damage before each use. Do not use the product if it is damaged or shows wear.

2. Double check that accessories are properly xed.

3. Push the product forward by its handle. Keep the han-

dle dry to ensure safe support.

4. Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed

and clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and dam- age the product.

5. Switch the product o󰀨 immediately if you are disturbed

while working by other people entering the working area. Always let the product come to complete stop before putting it down.

6. Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to en-

sure you can concentrate on the work and have full control over the product.

7. Mow the lawn before working and fertilise afterwards.

8. Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire

or other objects that could damage the product or its motor.

10. Do not work with this product on a wet lawn because

it tends to stick to the underbody of the product, pre- venting the proper discharge of collected material, and it could also cause you to slip and fall.

11. Slowly push the product forward. Move the product at

appropriate speed. Do not move it too fast to prevent the discharge opening from getting blocked and en- gine from useless overloading.

12. Work in slight overlapping rows. The most e󰀨ective

pattern for scarifying/raking lawns is straight lines along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is scaried/raked with- out missing any spots. (See Fig. 10).

13. Circle around ower beds. When reaching a ower

bed in the middle of the lawn, make a row or two around the circumference of the bed.

14. Pay special attention when changing direction.

15. Never tilt or transport appliance with running motor

16. Never leave the appliance unattended.

17. When leaving, disconnect the appliance from the

power supply. Checking by an expert is necessary -after hitting an obstacle -if the motor comes to an immediate standstill -if the blades of the scarier roller are bent -if the toothed belt is defective -if the wire leading to the motor is damaged -if there are other damages. GENERAL OPERATION (Fig. 13) We recommend the directional method of operation to obtain the maximum cutting performance from your unit and to reduce the risk of the trailing the extension lead from entering the cutting path.

• Place the bulk of the supply cable on the lawn close to the starting point (position 1, Fig. 13).

• Hold the handle assembly with both hands.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate your Machine with

one hand - you must guide it with both hands. Do not operate your machine on sanded, concrete or woodened ground.

• Tilt the handle downwards to slightly raise the front of your unit and to reduce the risk of lawn damage while starting, depress the safety lock-o󰀨 button (2a) on theGB-10 GB | Operating Instructions switchbox and while still depressed pull the switch le- ver (2b) towards you. Your machine will start and you can now allow the lock-o󰀨 button (2a) to be released and lower your Machine to its proper cutting position, and commence cutting.

• Proceed down the cutting area as shown in Fig. 13, working from position 1 towards position 2 and, on reaching position 2, turn to the right and proceed to- wards position 3. Always working away from the cable. Do not adopt the method as shown in Fig. 14, working towards the cable, as this is dangerous practice.

In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/ EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in national law, waste electric tools must be collected separately for environmentally-compatible re-use. Recycling alternative to the return invitation: Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling man- agement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the ac- cessory parts and auxiliary equipment without electrical components accompanying the waste equipment.
