VIBRATION
The Eur
opean 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
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
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be used with t
he current guidance on vibration. Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult 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! 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 and 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 of 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.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed. This tool should not be used for extended periods of time.
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 may reduce or increase the user’s total working period on this tool. Using another tool with a similar vibration emission would be equivalent to working for a longer period with this tool, while working with a machine with no vibration emission might be equivalent to taking a break.
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, or at least allow for breaks, or time spent using other tools that do not vibrate.
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.

5. POWER CONNECTION WARNING! Before operating the scarifier, ensure
that the fastening elements are undamaged.
In order to reduce the risk of injuries, always switch off the motor and pull out the mains plug before working on the machine.
The product can be connected to any socket (with 230-240V alternating current). We recommend to always use the appliance via a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of max. 30mA.
1). Mains leads on scarifiers are particularly susceptible to
insulation damage. The causes of this include the following:
- The cable may be cut if the scarifier passes over it.
- Damage through crushing if the mains lead becomes stuck under doors or windows.
- Cracks caused by ageing of the insulation sheath.
- Kinks caused by incorrect fastening of the mains lead.
2). Such damaged mains leads should not be used under any circumstances as they may cause fatal injuries due to their damaged insulation sheath.
3). Always check the plug and cable and make sure they are in good condition before operation.

7. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The overload protection will be activated in the following circumstances:
1). A build up of scarified material around the cutting device.
2). If the material scarified is too large and causes the motor to work beyond its capacity.
3). Where there is too much resistance against the cutting device. When the circuit breaker has been activated switch off the product and disconnect from the power supply. Let the product cool down and eliminate the cause of the overload before using the product again.
8. GENERAL OPERATION WARNING! In some countries regulations define
at what time of the day and on what days machines
are allowed to be used and what restrictions apply!
WARNING! If the product strikes a foreign object stop the motor! Switch the product off, disconnect it
from the power supply and let it cool down. Inspect the product thoroughly for damage! Have any damage repaired before restarting!
WARNING! If the machine vibrates unusually during operation is may indicate that it is damaged!
The product should be inspected and repaired immediately!
1). Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as
accessories for damage before each use. Do not use the product if it is damaged or shows wear.
2). Double c
heck that accessories are properly connected.
3). Push the product forward by its handle. Keep the handle
dry to ensure safe support.
4). Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and
clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
5). Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other people entering the working area. Always let the product come to complete stop before releasing the handles.
6). Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the work and have full control over the product.
7). Mow the lawn before working and fertilise afterwards.
8). Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other objects that could damage the product or its motor.
26/02/2013 v1
17
Fig. 10
9). Select the suitable working depth for the actual grass height.
10). Do not work with this product on a wet lawn because the grass may stick to the underside of the product, preventing the proper discharge of collected material, and could also cause you to slip and fall.
11). Slowly push the product forward. Move the product at an appropriate speed. Do not move it too fast or the discharge opening may get blocked and the engine may overload.
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.
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.
RAKIN
G
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 that you aerate the lawn every 4 - 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
