Batteries (Where Present)
Batteries present a risk if they become damaged by the possible leaking of electrolyte. This electrolyte is an acid and can cause serious burn injuries. Care should be taken when working on or near them. NOTE: the electrolyte may be in a liquid or gel form.
Should you come in to contact with electrolyte you should;
- Remove all clothing contaminated with electrolyte. If you cannot remove then saturate them in water.
- Get medical assistance as soon as possible.
You must advise the medical staff of the type of acid.
- Lead/acid battery = dilute sulphuric acid.
- Nickel/cadmium = potassium hydroxide alkali electrolyte.
- Use fresh running water to wash off excess electrolyte, continue this until medical assistance arrives. Make sure that you do not wash the electrolyte to another part of your body or face.
- If electrolyte comes in to contact with Eyes the electrolyte needs to be immediately washed away with large amounts of water. Make sure that you do not wash the electrolyte to another part of your face or body.
- Gasses from charging batteries are highly flammable and great care should be taken to charge in well ventilated areas.

- There is an explosion risk if the battery terminals are short circuited, when connecting/disconnecting ALWAYS exercise great care so that the terminals or battery leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a spark. ALWAYS use suitable insulated tools.

Electricity (Where Applicable)
DANGER : ELECTRICITY CAN KILL – NEVER WORK ON LIVE / ENERGISED EQUIPMENT.

- Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST identify electrical solution methods and isolate all electrical supplies.
- Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you MUST check all
electrical cables, plugs and connectors for the following;
- Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but not limited to bare wires, chaffing, cuts and loose wiring.
- If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item MUST be taken out of service until the damage has been repaired by an electrically competent person.
- All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any kind of trip hazard.
- NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet clothing and wet gloves.

Electricity (Continued)
- Power tools plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. DO NOT use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- DO NOT expose this power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- IMPORTANT: Make sure that the electric circuit is fused, and that the power, voltage and frequency of the motor is supported by your mains supply. Also, make sure that your power supply is earthed. Connect your machine to earth. Never open the ON/OFF switchbox. However, if it should become necessary to do so, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure that you will never touch live contacts, specifically when you plug or unplug your machine. This machine and its power cord must never get into contact with water.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA is advisable.
- Before use, check that the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
- Do not allow any part of the machine to make contact with water while it is in operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry before starting. Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots offers some protection.
- Before use, check the supply and extension cord for signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply immediately. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means that it is already provided on a double-insulated appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
Safety Information
! Vibrations (Where Applicable)
- Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death.
- Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white finger. Note the following to reduce the risk of white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome;
- Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Take regular breaks. - All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule out the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should occur.
⚠ Noise (Where Applicable)
- The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. When wearing protection such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Long-term and regular users are advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be especially vigilant and cautious when wearing ear protection because your ability to hear alarm warnings will be reduced. - Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at approved times and for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum. For your personal protection and protection of people working nearby it is also advisable for them to wear hearing protection.

Operation
Using The Scarifier (Rigid Tines)
-
By scarifying you remove the hardened surface, grass felt and flat-growing weeds and the crusted over grassroots are loosened up. The lawn will start to breathe again and assimilate the nourishing substances, oxygen and water. This also prevents the establishing of bacteria in the lawn during the winter.
-
Cut the grass to a height of about 40mm before scarifying. The lawn must be dry when using the machine. The best time for scarifying is any time during the vegetative season, from April through to September. Scarify it at least once a year. We recommend using a fertilizer straight after airing if you want a green carpet like lawn.

Operation
Using The Raker (Springs)
- By raking you remove the dead matter, moss and weed which disfigures a lawn. The build up of dead grass provides a mat of absorbent fibres which prevents 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 machine. It's recommend that this is used at the beginning and the end of each grass cutting season to give your lawn a thorough raking. This could also be used after each mowing to remove any grass cutting that may be left by your mower.

Operation
What Is Scarification
Scarification is the removal of moss, lawn clippings and dead grass blades from the stem of the grass to maintain a healthy growing environment. It is intensive airing of the lawn surface.
- Perfect for revitalising and reviving the most tired and spongiest of lawns.
- It is important to do this because the lawn gradually gets covered which results in a reduced amount of oxygen getting to the grass.
- The lawn will be able to absorb water better and it prevents water logging.
- Ventilation is important so that the lawn can absorb nutrients and it needs air to be able to breathe.
How Does It Work
• Before Scarification
Over time, your lawn collects lawn clippings, moss, etc. These create a seal and do not allow water, air and nutrients into the root of the grass.
• During Scarification
Scarification removes moss, lawn clippings, and dead grass blades from the stem of the grass to maintain a healthy growing environment.
• After Scarification
After scarification, the lawn will be able to absorb water and oxygen better. It will also absorb nutrients and your lawn will be able to breathe.
Scarification
The steel blades are specially designed to remove moss, thatch and dead grass. During use, the blades penetrate the ground to ensure the lawn absorbs nutrients better.
Raking
The rake rotates and during aeration, the surface of the ground is scratched. This improves water drainage and the absorption of oxygen.
For Best Results
- For best results, your lawn should be scarified every 4-6 weeks.
- We recommend scarifying the lawn in Spring and Autumn.
• We recommend aerating the lawn during the entire growing period.
Operation
Before Starting Work
- Check the condition of the cable, if damaged do not use.
