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.

SCARIFIER 1300W TTB428GDO
9). Select the suitable cutting 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 engine from
useless overloading.
12). Work in slight overlapping rows. The most effective
pattern for scarifying/raking lawns is straight lines along one
of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that
all the lawn is scarified/raked without missing any spots. (See
Fig. 10).
13). Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower 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.
1. SERVICE AND STORAGE
To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following
maintenance regularly. Servicing and cleaning work on the
product and the removal of the guards may only be carried
out after the motor has been switched off and the plug
disconnected from the power supply.
1). Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,
dislodged or damaged chain and guide bar, loose
fixings and worn or damaged components.
2). Check that covers and guards are undamaged and
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance
or repairs before using the product.
3). If the cutting device should happen to fail despite the
care taken in manufacturing and testing, repair
should be carried out by an authorized specialist.
4). Do not clean the product while it is running.
5). Ensure that all the fastening elements (screws, nuts,
etc.) are tight at all times so that you can safely work with
the product.
6). Check the product frequently for signs of wear. Replace
worn or damaged parts.
7). Store your product in a dry place. To ensure a long
service life all screw parts should be cleaned and then oiled.
8). Clean the product with a brush or cloth. Do not use any
solvents or water to remove dirt.
9). The component that is subject to most wear is the cutting
device. You should therefore check the condition of the
cutting device and its mounting at regular intervals.
- If the cutting device is worn or blunt it must be replaced
immediately;
- If the product starts to suffer from excessive vibrations,
this means that the cutting device has not been balanced
correctly or has suffered deformation due to impacts. In this
case it must be repaired or replaced.
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.
