sensory or mental capabilities or persons not familiar
with these instructions to operate, clean or maintain the
product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator. Children should be adequately supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the product.
■Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating the product. Do not operate the
product while tired, ill, or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A lapse in concentration while
operating the product may result in serious personal
injury.
■Wear heavy, long trousers, long sleeves, and sturdy,
anti-slip footwear. Do not wear short trousers, sandals,
or go barefoot. Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing
or clothes that have hanging cords or ties. Wear ear
protection.
■Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
■Do not overreach. Always be sure of your footing
especially on slopes. Keep firm footing and balance.
Walk, never run.
■Use the product across the face of slopes, never up
and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
■Do not use the product near drop-offs, ditches,
excessively steep slopes, or embankments. Poor footing
could cause a slip-and-fall accident.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■Never use the product while people, especially children,
or pets are nearby.
■Objects struck by the scarifier tines can cause severe
injuries to persons. Thoroughly inspect the area where
the product is to be used and remove all rocks, sticks,
metal, wire, bones, toys, or other foreign objects.
Remember, string or wire may entangle with the cutting
means.
■Always use the product in the daylight or with good
artificial light. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all objects which
can be thrown by the product.
■Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. The product creates sparks, which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
■Do not operate the product on wet grass or in the rain.
■Do not operate the product on a paved or gravel surface
where ejected material could cause injury.
■Operate the product only on a level surface by using
a two-handed operation with the operator behind the
handlebar.
■Avoid using the product in bad weather especially when
there is a risk of lightning.
■Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■A battery pack must be recharged only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. Using a charger with an
incompatible battery pack may create a risk of fire. Use
battery pack only with charger listed.
■Use only battery pack intended specifically for the
product. Use of any other battery packs may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
■When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like, paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery pack terminals together may cause sparks,
burns, fire or explosion.
■Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
SCARIFIER AND AERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS
■The tines on the product are sharp. Use extreme caution
and wear heavy-duty gloves when fitting, replacing,
cleaning, or checking bolt security.
■Check that all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners
are properly secured and that guards and screens are in
place. Replace damaged or unreadable labels.
■Replace worn or damaged parts before operating the
product.
■Do not force the product. It will do the job better and
safer at the speed for which it was designed.
■Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
product towards you.
■Stop the tines if the product has to be tilted for
transportation, when crossing surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the product to and from the work
area.

battery pack, or charger in uid or allow uid to ow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing
products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or
tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
MAINTENANCE
■Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts,
accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and
may void your warranty.
■Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge
and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. Have the product serviced by an authorised
service centre only.
■When the product is stopped for servicing, inspection,
storage, or changing an accessory, turn off the power
source, remove the battery pack, and make sure that all
moving parts have come to a complete stop. Allow the
product to cool down before making any inspections and
adjustments. Maintain the product with care and keep
it clean.
■Check the catcher frequently for wear, holes, or
deterioration.
■Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use only
original replacement parts and accessories.
■Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to ensure that the product is in safe
working condition.
■Be careful during adjustment of the product to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving tines and
fixed parts of the product.
■When servicing the tine assembly, be aware that even
though the power source is turned off, the tine assembly
can still be moved.
CLEARING BLOCKAGES
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when checking or clearing a
blockage. The tines are sharp and the blockage itself could
be a sharp object.

NOTE: Visit your local special orders desk or contact RYOBI

WARNING! The declared vibration total values and the
declared noise emission values given in this instruction
manual have been measured in accordance with a
standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with
another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment
of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent
the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used
for di󰀨erent applications, used with di󰀨erent accessories,
or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission
may di󰀨er. These conditions may signicantly increase the
exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation
of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take
into account the times when the tool is turned o󰀨 or when
it is running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce
the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the e󰀨ects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining
the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in
case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
