Operating instructions

Connecting the mains lead

Note: Only use an extension lead approved for outdoor use.

1. Connect the extension lead to the lawn raker's mains lead socket and run the lead through the handle's strain-relief.

1. The extension lead should only be connected to a 230–240 V, 50 Hz mains outlet protected by a 30 mA RCD.

Starting

Note: Make sure that the lawn raker does not contact the lawn and possibly pull away when starting. Place the lawn raker to its highest height setting to ensure a generous free ground clearance and always start on low-grass area that can be easily worked. Thereafter, adjust the working height to the appropriate setting.
