take care as rotating one tine assembly can cause
another tine assembly to rotate.
e) Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the ngers between moving
tine assemblies and xed parts of the machine.
f) Always allow the machine to cool down before
storing.
g) When servicing the tine assembly be aware that,
even though the power source is switched off, the
tine assembly can still be moved.
h) Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use
only genuine replacement parts and accessories.
i) When the machine is stopped for servicing,
inspection, or storage, or to change an accessory,
shut off the power source, disconnect the machine
from the supply and make sure that all moving parts
are come to a complete stop. Allow the machine to
cool before making any inspections, adjustments,
etc. Maintain the machine with care and keep it
clean.
j) Store the machine out of the reach of children.
Recommendation
The machine should be supplied via a residual
current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not
more than 30 mA.
Additional safety warnings for scarier/raker
1. Warning! Beware of sharp tines/blades. Tines/
blades continue to rotate after the motor is switched
off.
2. Before use check the supply and extension cord
for signs of damage or ageing. If the cord becomes
damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the
supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD
Safety information
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY. Do not
use the product, if the cord is damaged or worn.
3. Keep extension cords away from the tines/blades.
The tines/blades can cause damage to the cords and
lead to contact with live parts.
4. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Intended use
This electric scarier and raker MSRP1800 is designated with a rated power input
of 1800 Watts.
Depending on the tted attachment this product is either intended for scarifying
and removing thatch from lawns or for raking in domestic and hobby gardens.
When used as a scarier with scarier drum installed, this product works by
scratching through and between the grass with specially adapted blades that
collect and remove any unwanted parts from the lawn whilst leaving the grass
stalk intact. At the same time the product scaries the ground resulting in a better
airing.
When used as a raker with raker drum installed, the tines will scratch the
surface of the lawn while simultaneously picking light debris for better oxygen
absorption, airing and draining.
This product is not to be used in wet weather conditions and may not be used to
mow grass or for shredding leaves.
For safety reasons it is essential to read the entire instruction manual before rst
operation and to observe all the instructions therein.
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.
Adjustment
Product functions
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 weed growth. It sties the growth and health of the
lawn. Removing thatch 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.
WARNING!
Always switch the product off and disconnect it from power
supply before making any adjustments!
Handle adjustment
Adjust the handle to a suitable height according to your
needs. The lower handle bar (6) can be adjusted to 3
positions. The arrow on the handle support (12) should
be aligned with 1 of the 3 position lines. (Fig. 16).
1. Loosen the securing knob (12a) and move the lower
handle bar (6) to the desired position. Ensure that the
tooth system interlocks (Fig. 16).
2. Tighten the securing knob (12a) (Fig. 16).
Depth adjustment
Product functions
Fig. 17
Fig. 16
WARNING! To ensure safe operation the height adjustment of
the handle is limited by the handle adjustment locking system.
Do not attempt to adjust any height where the teeth of the
locking system are not interlocked.
9
Adjust the depth according to the needs of your lawn
and the condition of the blades/tines.
1. Turn the adjustment knob (9) clockwise to
increase the depth (Fig. 17).
2. Turn the adjustment knob (9) anticlockwise to
decrease the depth (Fig. 17)
3. Read the adjusted depth from the scale (Fig. 17).
WARNING! Always switch the product off and disconnect it from power
supply before making any adjustments!

Lock-off button
1. Press the lock-off button (1) and pull the start/stop lever (2) against the handle (3),
hold it in position during operation (Fig. 18).
2. Release the start/stop lever (2) to stop the motor.
Overload protection
The overload protection will be activated in the following circumstances:
1. A build up of scaried material around the cutting device.
2. If the material scaried is larger then the motor capacity.
3. Where there is too much resistance against the cutting device.
When the circuit breaker has been activated switch off the product and disconnect
from the power supply.
Let the product cool down and eliminate the cause before using the product again.

Product functions
NOTE: The working depth must be set correctly before the product
is used for the rst time. The working depth may be set at setting 1
initially. If the blades/tines are worn, the working depth must be re-
adjusted subsequently. An optimum working depth is obtained when
the blades/tines are inserted 2-3 mm into the ground. If the working
depth is too deep, the motor may be overloaded and cause damage.
Operation
General operation
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 attachments are properly xed.
3. Push the product forward by its handle. Keep the handle 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 damage
the product.
5. Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other
people entering the working area. Always let the product come to complete stop before
averting.
6. Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure 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
9. Select the suitable working depth for the actual grass height.
10. Do not work with this product on a wet lawn because it tends to stick to the
underbody of the product, preventing 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 motor from
unnecessary overloading.
12. Work in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern
for processing lawns is straight lines along one of the sides.
This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is
processed without missing any spots. (Fig. 19)
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. Fig. 19
WARNING! If the product strikes a foreign object stop the motor! Switch
the product off, disconnect it from the power supply and let it cool
down. Inspect the product thoroughly for damage! Have any damage
repaired before restarting!
Extensive vibration of the product during operation is an indication of
damage! The product should be promptly inspected and repaired!

Operation
Scarifying
Consider the weather when scarifying. Scarify the lawn with an increased depth setting
during spring time between April and May as the lawn is better able to recover during
this season. During a wet summer scarify again in late summer with a decreased
depth setting.
Do not scarify during periods of hot weather condition. During a dry rainless summer
do not scarify a second time in autumn.
Raking
In order that a healthy lawn can develop in the spring, it is necessary for greater
amounts of air to penetrate the area around the roots of the grass. We recommend
aerate the lawn every 4 - 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
