GB IE

• If your equipment vibrates or emits
unusual noises when switched on,
disconnect the plug from the socket
and check the cutting cylinder. Ensure
that no remains of chopped matter
are blocking the cutting cylinder or
jammed between the blades. If you

nd no problems, return the equipment

to a customer service centre.

• If the blades no longer cut correctly
or if the motor is overloaded, check
all the parts of your equipment and
replace the worn parts. If a more ex­tensive repair is required, contact a
customer service centre.

CAUTION! The following states

how to avoid damage to the imple­ment and any resulting harm to
people:

Take care of your implement

• Switch off the power when the imple-

ment is to be carried across steps.

• Inspect the implement each time before

it is to be used. Never operate the im­plement if safety devices (e.g. impact
protector, parts of the cutting facility
or bolts are missing, worn out or dam­aged. Check especially the power
cable and starting lever for damage.
To avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts
must be exchanged as complete sets.

• Only use spare parts and accessories

that have been supplied or recom­mended by the manufacturer. The use
of alien parts results in the immediate
loss of all guarantee claims.

• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are rmly tightened and that the imple­ment is in a safe working state.

• Never try to repair the implement your-

self, other than you have been trained
accordingly. All work that has not
been listed in these Instructions must
only be carried out by authorised serv­icing agencies.

• Treat the implement with the greatest

care. Always keep the tool clean for

better and safer work. Follow the main­tenance instructions.

• Never overload the implement. Always

work within the specied capacity

range. Do not use low-power machines
for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the
implement for purposes for which it is not
intended.

Electrical safety:

CAUTION! The following states how

to avoid accidents and injuries due to
electric shock:

• Before each use, carry out a visual
inspection of the power and extension
cables for signs of damage or ageing.

• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualied per­son in order to prevent hazards.

• Keep the power cable well away from
the cutting tools. Should the power
cable become damaged during work,
then instantly disconnect the power
cable from the mains.

DO NOT touch the power cable

before it has been disconnected
from the mains.

• Keep the extension cables away from
the teeth. The teeth may damage the
cables and result in contact with live
parts.

• Check that the mains voltage is the
same as indicated on the rating plate.

• Connect the implement to a power
socket with a residual-current circuit
breaker that has a rated current of not
more than 30 mA.

• Avoid body contact with earthed parts
(e.g. metal fences, metal posts).

• Only use approved extension cables
of the type H05RN-F with a maximum
length of 75 m and which have been
approved for open-air use. The strand-

Assembling the collection bag:

The collection bag is delivered in a folded
state and must therefore be assembled be­fore it is mounted on the implement.

1. Assemble the collection bag rods
(22).

2. Pull the collection bag over the
rods.

3. Put the plastic straps of the col­lection bag over the collection
bag rods and clip into the plastic
straps.

4. Lift the impact protector (9).

5. Push the pins (23) on the collec­tion bag rods into the socket in
the implement case (10).

6. Release the impact protector so
that it holds the collection bag
(6) in its position.

Removing and emptying

the collection bag:

7. Lift the impact protector (9) and
take out the collection bag (6).

Operation

Please observe local regulations

concerning noise protection. It is
quite possible that local rules and
regulations may limit the time of
implement operation or even pro­hibited its use on certain days (e.g.

10

GB

D

IE

Sundays and holidays), and dur­ing certain times of the day (noon,
night hours) and in certain areas
(e.g. spars, clinics, etc.).

Setting the working positions

The implement has 4 principal position set­tings:

Setting 0 : Transport position

This position sets the maximum safety spac-

ing between the tool and the oor.

Setting 1 : Working position

Set this position when working with a new
implement.

Settings 2 - 3 : Readjustment posi­tions

The working position can be lowered with
increased knife and sprung tine wear.
Wear can be identied from an increas­ingly poor result.
The readjusting depth amounts to approx.
3 mm per setting.

When the implement is delivered it

is in the Transport Position 0 setting.

The implement must be switched off to set
the working position. Pull the adjusting
knob for adjustment (see 9) and turn it
to the desired position until it clicks into
place.
Both wheels (right and left) must be indi­vidually set to the same position.

The setting button is not intended

for height adjustment but rather to
compensate for wear. Selection of
a readjustment position without the
corresponding wear can overload
the motor and damage the cylinder.

Switching on and off

Before switching on the imple-

ment ensure that it is not in
contact with any objects. Keep
your feet and hands well
away from the cylinder and
the ejector opening. Danger of
injury!

1. Place the implement on a level
lawn surface.

2. Form a loop in the end of the
power cable and hang it into the
strain relief (19a).

3. Connect the implement to the
mains voltage.

4. To switch on press the unlocking
button on the handle (1) and
simultaneously press the starting
lever (3). Release the unlocking
button (1).

5. To switch off release the starting
lever (3).

Overload protection: The motor

is automatically switched off when the
implement is overloaded. Release the
starting lever and reset the implement
after a cooling down period of ap­prox. 1 minute.

WARNING! The cylinder con-

tinues to run for a brief pe­riod after the implement has
been switched off. Do not tilt
or carry the implement while
the motor is still running and
do not touch the cylinder
while it is still rotating.Danger
of injury!

Working with the implement

To maintain a well cared-for lawn it should
be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks.
Verticuting is a more intensive intervention
than aerating and should only be carried
out once a year, the best time being in
spring after the lawn has been mown for

the rst time.

When working on slopes

always proceed across the
slope. Be particularly careful
when walking backwards
and pulling the implement.
Danger of stumbling!

The shorter the grass, the better the

lawn can be treated. Furthermore,
the implement is less stressed and
the service life of the cylinder is pro­longed.

• The implement can be operated with or
without the collection bag.

Recommendation: Work with the col-

lection bag for aerating and without
the collection bag for verticuting.

• Mow the lawn to the required grass
height.

• Do not use the scarier in long grass. It

may otherwise wind around the scari-

er blade and result in damage to the

equipment.

• Select the appropriate working or
readjustment position (in the event of
cylinder wear) so that the implement is
not overloaded.

• Commence work in the vicinity of the
power socket and proceed away from
the socket.

• Always ensure that the extension cable
is behind you, and after turning move
it to the side that has already been
treated.

• Guide the implement at a walking
pace down lanes that are as straight
as possible. To ensure uninterrupted

aerating or verticuting the individual
lanes should always overlap by a few
centimetres. Dwelling too long at the
same place while the implement is run­ning can damage the grass sward.

• To ensure that the extension cable is
not an impediment, turn the implement
in such a manner that the cable strain
release on the bar always faces the
side that has been treated.

After work and to transport the im-

plement disconnect the power plug
and wait until the cylinder is stand­ing still.

• Adjust the transport position 0 setting
(see “Setting the Working Position”)
when transporting the implement.

• Lift the implement to transport it over
steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).

• Always clean the implement after each
use (see “Cleaning, Maintenance, Stor­age”).

• After having treated lawns with dense
moss growth, it is advisable to reseed
the lawn so that it can regenerate itself
quicker.

Exchanging the cylinder

Switch off the implement, disconnect

the mains plug and wait until the cyl­inder is standing still.

Wear gloves when handling the cyl-

inder.

1. Turn the implement over.

2. Take the spanner (17) out of the

holder (see

3. Loosen the fastening screws and

pull the bearing support upwards.

4. Tilt the cylinder upwards and pull
the shaft (27) out of its seat.

5. Insert the new cylinder by revers­ing the sequence.

General cleaning and mainte­nance work

Do not jet water onto the

implement and do not clean

it under owing water. This

would result in the danger of
an electric shock and the im­plement could be damaged.

• When work has nished remove plant

residues adhering to the wheels, inside
the ventilation opening, the grass ejec­tor opening and the cylinder. Do not
use hard or pointed objects for this
purpose as they could damage the im­plement.

• Completely empty the collection bag.

• Always keep the implement clean. Do

not use cleaning agents or solvents.

Storage

• Store the implement in a dry place well
out of reach of children.

• Allow the motor to cool down before
placing the implement in a closed
room.

• Do not wrap nylon sacks around the
implement as this could result in the for­mation of moisture.
