CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF CORD-
LESS EQUIPMENT
• Ensure that the equipment is switched off
before you insert the battery. Inserting a
battery into an electric tool that is switched on
can cause accidents.
• Only charge the batteries in chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer. A
charger that is designed for a certain type of
batteries may pose a fire risk if it is used with
other types of batteries.
• Use only the correct batteries in the elec-
tric tools.The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and a fire risk.
• Keep unused batteries away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
metallic objects that could cause a short
circuit between the contacts. A short cir-
cuit between the battery contacts may cause
burns or a fire.
• In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape
from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If
you touch it by mistake, rinse the affected
area with water. If you get the fluid in your
eyes, also seek medical advice. Leaking
battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of
every battery pack to ensure that we supply you
with batteries which feature maximum power den-
sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual
cell is initially formatted and its electrical charac-
teristic curves are recorded.These data are then
used exclusively to be able to assemble the best
possible battery packs. Despite all the safety
precautions, caution must always be exer-
cised when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to ensure
safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undama-
ged cells are used. Incorrect handling can
cause cell damage.
Important: Analyses confirm that incorrect use
and poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged.The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the first
time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process.The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to
just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened
cells in an aged battery pack are no longer
capable of meeting the high power require-
ments and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells.The most common cause of exhaustive
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from over-
loads. Overloads will quickly result in over-
heating and cell damage inside the battery
housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batte-
ries which have been dropped from a height
of more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay, even
if the housing of the battery pack appears to

be undamaged.The battery cells inside the
battery may have suffered serious damage.
In this respect, please also read the waste
disposal information.
10.If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-off
will switch offthe equipment for safety rea-
sons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-offhas
actuated.This may damage the battery pack.
11.Use only original battery packs.The use of
other batteries may result in injuries, explosi-
on and a fire risk.
Information on chargers and the charging
process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to con-
nect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a qualified
electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children’s reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum charging times.These
charging times only apply to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you sus-
pect that the last time they were charged
was more than 12 months previously. The-
re is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suffered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell
and may cause a fire.
10.Do not use batteries which have heated during
the charging process, as the battery cells may
have suffered dangerous damage.
11.Do not use batteries which have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical sym-
ptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
12.Never fully discharge the battery pack (re-
commended depth of discharge max. 80%)
A complete discharge of the battery pack will
lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
13.Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes.Wear safety gog-
gles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and inflammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient tempe-
rature of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Over-
loads, over-charging and exposure to direct
sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries
which have been overheated – replace them
immediately if possible.
7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers
and cordless tools. Store the charger and
your cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your
lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at
a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from
humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully
charged batteries in storage (charged at least
40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from free-
zing. Battery packs which were stored below
0°C for more than 60 minutes must be dispo-
sed of.
9. When handling batteries beware of electro-
static charge: Electrostatic discharges cause
damage of the electronic protection system
and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic char-
ging and never touch the battery poles.

3. Proper use
The basic version of the equipment is a scarifier
intended for private use, i.e. for use in home and
gardening environments.The scarifier roller is
designed for ripping moss and weeds - complete
with their roots - out of the soil and for loosening
the soil. As a result your lawn can absorb nutri-
ents better and is cleaned. We recommend you to
scarify your lawn in the spring (April) and autumn
(October).
With the additional aerator roller (Art. No.
3405572), available as an option, the equipment
can be converted to a lawn aerator in just a few
steps.
The aerating roller scratches the surface of the
lawn, helping water to drain offmore easily as
well as promoting oxygen intake. Aerate your lawn
throughout the growing period.
The equipment is intended for private use i.e. for
use in home and gardening environments.
Scarifiers for private use are machines whose an-
nual operating time generally does not exceed 10
hours, during which the machine is primarily used
to maintain small-scale, residential lawns and
home/hobby gardens. Public facilities, sporting
halls, and agricultural/forestry applications are
excluded.
The operating instructions as supplied by the ma-
nufacturer must be kept and referred to in order
to ensure that the equipment is properly used
and maintained.The instructions contain valuable
information on operating, maintenance and servi-
cing conditions.
Warning! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to
the user, the equipment may not be used to grind
up branch or hedge clippings. Moreover, the
equipment may not be used as a power cultivator
to level out high areas such as mole hills.
For safety reasons, the scarifier may not be used
as a drive unit for other equipment or toolkits of
any kind, unless specifically advised to do so by
the manufacturer.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescri-
bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a
case of misuse.The user / operator and not the

rifier you must ensure that the motor is switched
offand the cutting unit is not rotating.
Adjusting the working depth (see Fig. 9)
The scarifier depth is adjusted at the two front
wheels using the adjustment mechanism. For this,
pull out the adjusting screw and turn the wheel to
the left or right into one of the available positions
(0/1/2/3).
The scarifier depth must always be identically set
on both sides!

Charging the battery (Fig. 10)
The equipment is supplied without batteries and
without a charger!
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the pushlock buttons (Fig.
11/Item C).
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(22) into the socket outlet.The green LED will
then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack (21) into the battery
charger (22).
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you
will find a table with an explanation of the LED
indicator on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging.This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charging unit
• and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged.This will cause it to develop a defect.
Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 11)
Press the switch for the battery capacity indicator
(Item A).The battery capacity indicator (Item B)
shows the charge status of the battery using 3
LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED flashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs flash:
The battery pack has undergone exhaustive di-
scharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a
defective battery pack.
Installing the battery (Fig. 12-13)
Open the battery cover. This is done by pressing
the lock (B) as shown in Fig. 12 and swinging
up the cover.Then insert the two batteries in the
mounts as shown in Fig. 13 and push them for-
ward until the batteries audibly latch into place.
Note!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same
level. Never combine full and half-full batteries.
Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment‘s operating time depends on the
battery with the lower charge level.The two batte-
ries must always be fully charged before use.
6. Operation
Caution!
The scarifier is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent unauthorized use. Directly before starting
up the scarifier insert the safety plug (Fig. 13/Item
15) and remove the safety plug again when inter-
rupting or terminating your work.
To prevent accidental start-up of the scarifier, the
push bar (Fig. 14/Item 5) is equipped with a safety
lock-off(Fig. 14/Item 2) which must be pressed
before the lever switch (Fig. 14/Item 1) can be
pressed.The start time for the equipment can
amount to several seconds. If the lever switch is
released, the scarifier switches off. Repeat this
process several times so that you are sure that
your equipment functions properly. Always pull
out the safety plug before performing any adjus-
ting, repair, maintenance or cleaning work on the
equipment. Make sure that the spike drum is not
rotating.
Danger! Never open the ejector flap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries. Always fasten the ejector flap carefully.
The flap flips back to the “Closed” position by
the tension springs! Always ensure that a safe
distance (provided by the long handles) is main-
tained between the user and the housing. Be
especially careful when scarifying and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and

long trousers. Always scarify along the incline (not
up and down). For safety reasons, the scarifier
may not be used to scarify inclines whose gradi-
ent exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scarifier (tripping hazard)!
Tips for proper working
It is recommended that you overlap scarifying
paths a little.
There are two markings on the housing (Fig. 2/
Item A) which correspond to the width of the sca-
rifier and aerator rollers.
Try to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order
to avoid bare strips.
If you use the catch bag which is available as an
option, it has to be emptied as soon as grass clip-
pings start to trail behind during scarifying.
Danger! Before taking offthe grass basket,
switch offthe motor and wait until the roller
has come to a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector flap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with
the other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and
remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it
more difficult to start the aerator and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).
Switch offthe motor before doing any checks on
the roller.
Danger!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the
motor is switched off. Never attempt to stop the
roller. In the event that the rotating roller strikes
an object, immediately switch offthe equipment
and wait for the roller to come to a complete stop.
Then inspect the condition of the roller. Replace
any parts that are damaged (see section 7.3).
Tips on aerating properly with the aerator
roller available as an option.
The way of working for aerating is the same as for
scarifying.
You should therefore observe these safety inst-
ructions and notes on working practice.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the safety plug before performing
any adjusting, repair, maintenance or cleaning
work on the equipment. Make sure that the spike
drum is not rotating.
7.1 Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible.Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device.The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
7.2 Maintenance
• A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be
replaced by an authorised expert (see adress
on the warranty certificate).
• Take care that all fastening elements (screws,
nuts, etc.) are firmly tightened, so that you
can work safely with the scarifier.
• Store the scarifier in a dry place.
• For longer life, all screw-fastened parts, such
as wheels and axles should be cleaned and
subsequently oiled.
• Regular servicing of the scarifier not only
secures longer endurance and performance,
but also contributes to an accurate and simp-
le scarification of your lawn.
• At the end of the season, carry out a general
check of the scarifier, and remove all residue
collected. Before the start of every season, it
is absolutely necessary to check the state of
the scarifier. Contact our Customer Service

(see address on the warranty certificate) if
repair work is necessary.
7.3 Changing the roller (see Figures 15-19)
Be sure to wear work gloves!
Only replace the roller with a genuine Einhell rol-
ler, as this will ensure top performance and safety
under all conditions.
To change the scarifier roller or the optionally
available aerator roller (Fig. 17/Item D, Art. No.:
34.055.72), proceed as follows: Remove the two
socket head screws (Fig. 15/Item A). Lift the roller
on this side and pull out in the direction of the
arrow (Fig. 16). Pull the holder (Fig. 17/Item A) off
the roller used before and then fit it to the roller to
be used now. Slide the new roller in the direction
of the arrow (Fig. 19) onto the square-ended drive
(Fig. 18/Item A) and press into the holder (Fig.
19). Use the two socket head screws (Fig. 18/Item
A) to secure the roller again.
Apply grease to the square-ended drive from time
to time so that the rollers can be changed easily.
