1.PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
WARNING: This product can expose
you to chemicals including lead and
Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to www.
P65Warnings.ca.gov.

FOR ALL BATTERY – OPERATED GARDENING
APPLIANCES:
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with your
nger on the switch or energizing appliance
that have the switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliance. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer .A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
4. Use appliances only with specically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
re.
5. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,

8
2x20V Dethatcher EN
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re
or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or appliance
outside of the temperature range specied
in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specied range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11.Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance
or the battery pack (as applicable) except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
WARNINGS FOR YOUR
LAWN DETHATCHER
a) Do not expose the machine to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the machine will
increase the risk of electric shock
b) Do not use the machine in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where
the machine is to be used. Wildlife may be
injured by the machine during operation.
d) Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks,
wires, bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown
objects can cause personal injury.
e) Before using the machine, always visually
inspect to see that the tines and the tines
assembly are not worn or damaged. Worn or
damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
f) Check the catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration. A worn or damaged catcher may
increase the risk of personal injury.
g) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in
working order and be properly mounted. A guard
that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning
correctly may result in personal injury.
h) Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Blocked air inlets and debris may result in
overheating or risk of re.
i) While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Do not operate
the machine when barefoot or wearing open
sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the
feet from contact with the moving tines.
j) While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood
of injury from thrown objects.
k) Do not operate the machine in wet grass. Walk,
never run. This reduces the risk of slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
l) Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
m) When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk
of loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
n) Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling
the machine towards you. Always be aware
of your surroundings. This reduces the risk of
tripping during operation.
o) Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the tines may contact hidden
wiring Tines contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the machine “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
p) Do not touch tines and other hazardous moving
parts while they are still in motion. This reduces
the risk of injury from moving parts.
q) When clearing jammed material or cleaning
the machine, make sure all power switches
are off and the battery pack is disconnected.
Unexpected operation of the machine may result
in serious personal injury.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
b) Do not expose battery pack to heat or re. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
c) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. When
battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,

9
2x20V Dethatcher EN
screws or other small metal objects, that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause burns or a
re.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
f) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
g) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
h) Always purchase the battery pack recommended
by the device manufacturer for the equipment.

Always use the correct charger and refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions or equipment
manual for proper charging instructions.
l) Do not leave battery pack on prolonged charge
when not in use.
m) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
n) Recharge only with the charger specied by
Worx. Do not use any charger other than that
specically provided for use with the equipment.
o) Retain the original product literature for future
reference.
p) Use only the battery pack in the application for
which it was intended.
q) Remove the battery from the equipment when
not in use.
