INTENDED USE
The basic version of the equipment is a walk behind electric scarifier intended for private use, i.e. for use in
home and gardening environments. It is designed to rip out moss and weeds ‐ complete with their roots out of
the soil and for loosening the soil in small to medium lawns. As a result, your lawn can absorb nutrients better
and is cleansed. We recommend you scarify your lawn in the spring (April) and autumn (October).
The scarifier is for private use only, whose annual operating time generally does not exceed 25 hours. Public
facilities, sporting facilities and agricultural / forestry applications are excluded.
Please read this entire manual prior to operating the equipment. It instructs you how to safely and easily set
up, operate and maintain your machine. Please be sure that you and any other persons who will operate the
machine, always carefully follow the recommended safety practices. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury or property damage.

SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, or it is greater than 15 degrees, do not scarify on it.
Do:
1. Scarify across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
3. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing
your balance, release the OPC/Brake lever immediately and the tines will stop rotating a few seconds after
release.
Do Not:
1. Do not scarify near drop‐offs, ditches, or embankments, you could lose your footing or balance.
2. Do not scarify on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
3. Do not scarify on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted
to the scarifier and the activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the scarifying area and under care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn the scarifier off if a child enters the area.
3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
4. Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure your vision of a child who may run into the scarifier.
5. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate this machine. Children 16 and over should read and
understand the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual and on the machine and be
trained and supervised by an adult.
SERVICE
General Service:
1. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the tines and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the electrical plug from the power source to prevent unintended starting.
2. Check the tines at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect tines for damage. Replace
with the original equipment manufacture’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of parts which
do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise
safety!”
3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
4. Never tamper with safety devices. Check the correct operation regularly.
5. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, disconnect the electrical plug from the power source.
Thoroughly inspect the scarifier for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating the
scarifier.
6. Scarifier components, guards and shields are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace
immediately with original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of
parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!”
7. Do not change the motor’s settings. The motor has been set for the maximum safe operating speed.
8. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
9. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm the
environment.
DO NOT MODIFY THE MOTOR
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify the motor in any way. Tampering with the motor settings can
cause it to operate at unsafe speeds and lead to premature failure. Never tamper with factory settings of the
motor. Please refer to this manual, before undertaking any inspection, repair, or maintenance.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
1. Power tool electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal
electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the
risk of a lethal electric shock.
4. Do not damage the electrical cable. Never use the electrical cable for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the electrical cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled electric cables increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using an
extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual
current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.

electric motor. The depth of cut is set by varying the central height-adjustment mechanism individually from 5
to -15mm.
AERATOR: (Metal Blades) The cylinder rotates and removes the felt layer formed by moss, lichen and weeds
and conveys the scarified material to the outside or into the grass catcher. During cutting the cutters penetrate
the ground and therefore ensure that the lawn is loosened and absorbs nutrients better. We recommend
aerating the lawn in Spring (April/May) and Autumn (October).
SCARIFIER: (Spring Tines) The cylinder rotates and combs the lawn or aerates the slightly mossy areas. The
removed moss is conveyed outwards or into the grass catcher. During scarifying, the surface of the ground is
scratched; this improves water drainage and facilitates the absorption of oxygen. We recommend scarifying
the lawn during the entire growing period as and when required.
