Operation
1. Operate the product only in daylight or in good articial light.
2. Avoid operating the product in wet grass or take additional precautions to avoid
slipping.
3. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
4. Walk, never run.
5. Always work across the face of slopes, never up and down.
6. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
7. Do not operate the product on steep slopes.
8. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the product towards you.
9. Stop the tines if the product has to be tilted for transportation. Do not operate
the tines when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the product
to and from the working area.
10. Never operate the product with defective guards, or without safety devices, for
example deectors and/or grass catchers, in place.
11. Switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from
the tine(s).
12. Do not tilt the product when switching on the motor, except if the product
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.
13. Do not start the motor when standing in front of the discharge opening.
14. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times.
15. Never pick up or carry a product while the motor is running.
16. Stop the motor and disconnect the product from the power supply:
-- before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge opening;
-- before checking, cleaning or working on the product;
-- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the product for damage and make repairs before
restarting and operating the product;
-- if the product starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).
-- whenever you leave the product.
17. Never use the scarier without the grass catcher bag securely tted.
Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the product is in a safe working
condition.
2. Allow the product to cool before storing in any enclosure.
3. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
4. Examine the product regularly and replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Additional safety warnings
1. Warning! Beware of sharp tines. Tines continue to rotate after the motor is switched
off.
2. Do not use the product if the cords are damaged or worn.
3. Do not to connect a damaged cord to the supply or touch a damaged cord
before it is disconnected from the supply. A damaged cord can lead to contact
with live parts.
4. Keep extension cords away from the tines. The tines can cause damage to the
cords and lead to contact with live parts.
5. If operating a garden power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Vibration and noise reduction

VIBRATION
SYMBOLS
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool
manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make
informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and
the choice of tool. Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be used
with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difcult and the HSE website
has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standard listed test stated
above and may be used to compare one tool with another. The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning
Read the instruction manual
Double insulation
Compliance with relevant safety standards
Wear eye protection
Wear ear protection
Wear breath protection
Gloves with saw protection
Boots with saw protection, steel toecap and non-slip sole
To avoid potential electric shock, do not use the unit in humid or wet conditions
Switch off! Remove plug from mains before cleaning or maintenance
Switch off! Remove plug from the mains immediately if the cable is damaged or cut.
Work across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days. Health
Surveillance.
Health Surveillance.
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity any
vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and help employees
stay in work.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
WARNING! The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on
the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being ground or cut.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
WARNING! identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in
addition to the trigger time). Note The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total working
period on this tool.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN60335-2-92 and EN13683
Vibration level for operation Vibration emission value ah = 3.591m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
Double insulation:
The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically insulated
from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical
and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
Important note:
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The tool is tted with a
two-core cable and plug. Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment
or servicing.
