GB IE

• Check the area on which the implement
is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks,
wire and other foreign bodies that

could be caught up and ung out.

Never use the implement to level out

uneven patches.

• Always wear appropriate protective

work clothes and rm shoes with non-

slip soles, strong long trousers, ear
defenders and goggles. Never operate
the implement while bare footed or
when wearing open sandals.
The protective devices and your per­sonal protective equipment will protect
yourself and other people and ensure
that the equipment can be smoothly
operated

• Never operate the implement if it is
damaged, incomplete or has been

modied without the consent of the

manufacturer. Never work with dam­aged or missing protective devices
(e.g. starting lever, unlocking knob,
impact protector). Never disengage
protective devices (e.g. by tying the
starting lever).This ensures that the
equipment remains safe.

• Before starting the equipment, ensure
that no objects or branches are pushed
into the blade opening, that the equip­ment is standing stably and that the
workspace is tidy and not blocked.

Check the condition of your extension

cable and the connecting cable of your
equipment. Use the necessary protec-

tive equipment. There is a risk of injury.

• 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 ser-

8

vice 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.

Use:

• CAUTION – A very sharp tool. Avoid
cutting your ngers or toes. While

working always keep your feet and

ngers well away from the cutting cyl­inder and the ejector opening. There is

the danger of serious injury!

• Do not operate the implement while it
is raining, in poor weather conditions
and when the surrounding area and
lawn are wet. Operate the implement
only during daylight hours or with
bright lighting. There is a risk of acci­dents.

• Do not operate the implement if you
are tired or are lacking in concentration
and after having drunk alcohol or taken
medicine. Always take a work break in
due time. Approach the work with com­mon sense. A moment of carelessness
when using the equipment can result in
serious injury.

• Familiarize yourself with the terrain and
remain focused on the potential haz­ards that you could miss on account of
the motor noise.

• Always maintain a secure footing while
working, especially on a sloping ter­rain. Always work across slopes - never
up and down! Be particularly careful
when changing the travelling direction.
Do not work on very steep slopes. This
enables you to control the equipment
better in unexpected situations.

• Always guide the implement at a
walking pace with both hands on the
handle. Be especially careful when you

GB IE

turn the implement around or draw it
towards you. Danger of stumbling!

• Start or actuate the starting lever with
care and in conformity with the direc­tions in these Instructions.

• Do not tilt the implement when start­ing, other than it has to be lifted. In
this case tilt the implement only to the
extent that is absolutely necessary and
always lift the implement on the side
that is opposite to the operator.

• Never operate the implement without
the attached collection bag or impact
protector. Danger of injury! Always
keep well away from the ejector open­ing.

• Do not operate the implement in the

vicinity of inammable liquids or gases

as this could give rise to the danger of

a re or explosion.

• Always disconnect the plug from the
mains socket before working.

Work intervals:

• After the implement has been turned
off, the cutting cylinder will continue to

rotate for a few seconds. Keep hands

and feet well away.

• Do not touch the spring tines before the
implement has been disconnected from
the mains and the spring tines have
come to a complete standstill. Risk of
injury owing to a sharp implement!

• Only remove plant parts when the
implement is standing completely still.
Ensure that the grass ejector opening is
clean and free.

• Switch off the power when the imple­ment is to be transported, lifted or tilted
and when traversing other surfaces
than grass.

• Never leave the implement unattended
at the place of work. Children should

be supervised to ensure that they do

not play with the appliance.

• Always switch off the implement and

disconnect the power plug:-

- Whenever you leave the implement

- Before you clean the ejector open­ing or unblock or unclog the imple­ment

- When the implement is not being
used

- During all maintenance and clean­ing work

- When the power cable is damaged
or has become tangled

- When the implement hits an obstruc­tion during work or when unusual
vibrations arise. Establish the cause
and see if the implement has been
damaged. Do not repair it yourself!
Have the implement repaired by an
authorised workshop!

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

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 recom-

mended by the manufacturer. The use

of alien parts results in the immediate
loss of all guarantee claims.

9

GB IE

• 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 your­self, 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.
Damaged mains power cables increase
the risk of electric shock.

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

• Always keep the extension 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! Risk of

electric shock.

• 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 extension cables away from
the sprung tines. The tines may dam-

age the cables and result in contact
with live parts.

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

• Avoid body contact with earthed parts
(e.g. metal fences, metal posts). There
is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.

• 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 strand­ed cord diameter of the extension ca­ble must be at least 2.5 mm
unreel a cable drum to its full length so
that the entire cable can be checked for
damage.

• Use the envisaged cable suspension
when attaching an extension cable.

• Never pull the cable to disconnect the
plug from the socket. Protect the cable
from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• If the connecting cable is damaged,

rst disconnect the extension cable from

the socket. You can then disconnect the
connecting cable of the equipment.

Setting the working positions

The implement has 4 principal position set­tings:

-

The collection bag is only intended

for operation with the aerator cylin-

der (20).

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.

button (1).

6. To switch off release the starting

lever (2).

Overload protection: The mo-

tor 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.

1. Place the implement on a level
lawn surface.

2. Connect the power cable (17)
with the extension cable.

3. Form a loop in the end of the
power cable and hang it into the
strain relief (18).

4. Connect the implement to the
mains voltage.

5. To switch on press the unlocking

button on the handle (1) and

12

When working on slopes

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

After work and to transport the im-

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

GB IE

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 collec-

tion 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.

• 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”).

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

Cleaning/maintenance

Work that has not been de-

scribed in these Instructions
must be carried out by a ser­vicing agency authorised by
us. Only use original parts.

Wear gloves when handling the cyl-

inder.

Prior to all maintenance and clean-

ing work always switch off the
implement, disconnect the plug from
the power socket and wait until the
cylinder is standing still.

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.
