IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
W A R N I N G
TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
DETHATCHER UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN READ THOROUGHLY.
•Read and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. Learn the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards.
•Avoid dangerous conditions. Do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.
•Do not use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
•Keep bystanders at a safe distance. Never allow children near the tool.
•Dress for safety. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery (rings, watches, etc.) When operating tool. Loose clothing can get caught and pull you into moving parts.
•Always wear eye protection.
•Always remove the power cord plug from the electric outlet when making adjustments, changing parts, or cleaning.
•Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the power switch is in the off position before plugging in the power cord.
•Do not abuse the power cord. Do not use it to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately; they may create a shock or fire hazard.
•Never leave a running tool unattended. Turn the power switch to off. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•Disconnect tools. Disconnect tools from their power supplies when not in use, prior to servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, etc.
•Keep all safety devices in place.
•Know locations and functions of all controls.
•MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order.
•CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for proper alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
•CLEAN AND FREE OF OIL OR GREASE. To clean the tool, always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents, brake fluids, gasoline, or other petroleum products to clean the tool, as they may damage plastic parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
W A R N I N G
ONLY USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS WHEN SERVICING. TOLL-FREE HELPLINE: at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
W A R N I N G
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. This tool can eject foreign objects into your eyes, posing the risk of permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles (not glasses). Ordinary eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses-they are not safety goggles.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
•Do not use the dethatcher in the rain or in moist, wet conditions.
•Do not work close to the edge of swimming pools or garden ponds.
•Please observe any local noise restrictions.
•Always wear eye protection.
•Wear a dust mask. Soil mixed with fertilizers may cause harmful chemicals to be inhaled.
•Extension Cord – To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension cord during operating, it is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make the knot as shown in figure 1, then connect the plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two extension cords together.
Fig. 1
•Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding
100 feet is not recommended mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
•Wear hearing protection.
•Ensure that people and pets are at least 50’ (15 m) away from dethatcher while in use.
•Do not use the maximum dethatching depth setting, allow tines to wear down, start in the highest setting and adjust as tines wear down.
•Replace worn or damaged parts only with identical replacement parts.
•Ensure that work area is free of slippery spots or excessive quantities of stone.
•Do not dethatch on slopes greater than 15 degrees.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before use. Keep extension cords away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
W A R N I N G
KEEP THE EXTENSION CORD CLEAR OF THE TINES AND WORKING AREA. POSITION
THE CORD SO THAT IT WILL NOT GET CAUGHT ON LUMBER, TOOLS OR OTHER
OBSTRUCTIONS WHILE YOU ARE WORKING WITH A CULTIVATOR. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
