at all times, especially on slopes.
4. Walk, never run.
5. Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
6. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
7. Do not scarify or aerate excessively steep slopes.
8. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the machine towards you.
9. Stop the tines if the machine has to be tilted for transportation when crossing
surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the machine to and from the
area to be used.
10. Never operate the machine with defective guards or shields, or without safety
damaged or worn.
11. Switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet well away
from the tines.
12. Keep supply and extension cord away from tines. The tines can cause damage
to the cords and lead to contact with live parts.
13. Do not tilt machine when switching on the motor, except if the machine has to be
tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift
only the part which is away from the operator. Always ensure that both hands are
in the operating position before returning the machine to the ground.
14. Do not transport the machine while the power source is running.

• whenever you leave the machine,
• before clearing blockages or unclogging chute,
• before checking, cleaning or working on the machine,
• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for damage and make repairs
before restarting and operating the machine; if the machine starts to vibrate
abnormally (check immediately)
• inspect for damage,
• replace or repair any damaged parts,
• check for and tighten any loose parts.
17. Do not touch moving hazardous parts before the machine is disconnected from
the mains and the moving hazardous parts have come to a complete stop.

Intended use
•
This product is intended for raking and scarifying on the lawns in domestic gardens.
•
the grass with specially adapted prongs that collect and remove any thatch from the
the ground resulting in better airing.
• When used as a raker, this product helps to remove the dead matter, moss and
prevents water getting through to the ground.
• This product is not to be used in wet weather conditions and may not be used to
mow dry, wet or unusually high grass, e. g. pasture grass or for shredding leaves.
• This product is intended for private domestic use only, not for any commercial trade
use. It must not be used for any purposes other than those described.
NOTE:Thatch is a build-up of organic materials which can include dead grass
or leaves, stems, rhizomes and overcrowded grass roots as well as lateral
encourages the lawn to thicken up and makes it stronger and less susceptible
to disease. Reducing the thatch level increases the levels of water, air and
nutrients that can get through to the root zone of the grass plants.
Cutting depth adjustment
Adjust the depth according to the needs of your lawn. The most suitable depth depends
on the kind of lawn and the actual height of the grass.
1. Lift up the depth adjustment lever (12), meanwhile move it forward or backward
to the desired position, and release it. Make sure it is well seated in the groove
on the housing. (Fig.20).
