General Safety
1. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use this machine
in rainy, stormy, damp or wet locations. Do not operate the
unit in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
units normally spark, and the sparks may ignite fumes.
2. Keep children, bystanders and pets away – Always
keep children and spectators a safe distance away from
the dethatcher during operation and as the machine cools.
3. Dress properly – Always wear personal safety gear (i.e.
glasses, rubber gloves, protective footwear and dust
masks) and proper clothing when using the dethatcher.
Loose clothing, long hair or jewelry may get caught in the
moving parts.
4. Use the right appliance – This dethatcher is intended
for outdoor use only. Do not use the dethatcher for any
application other than that for which it is intended.
6. Do not force the dethatcher – It will perform better with
less likelihood of personal or mechanical injury if it is used

Form No. SJ-AJ800E-880E-MR1
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
8. Stay alert – Always be alert and watch what you are
doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the dethatcher
when you are tired or under the inuence of alcohol or
drugs.
9. Disconnect the dethatcher – Disconnect the dethatcher
from the power supply when it is not in use, before
servicing it, when changing accessories and when
performing any other maintenance task.
10. Store idle dethatcher indoors – When not in use, the
dethatcher should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place
out of the reach of children.
11. Maintain the dethatcher with care – Keep cutting edges
sharp and clean for optimal and safest performance.
Inspect the dethatcher cord periodically and if damage
is found have it repaired by an authorized service facility.
Extension cords should also be inspected periodically and
immediately replaced if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
12. Double insulation – This dethatcher is equipped with
double insulation. This means that all external metal parts
are insulated from the electrical supply. This is achieved
by introducing an insulation layer between electrical and
mechanical parts. The double insulation guarantees you
the greatest possible safety.
13. Replacement parts – When servicing this unit, use only
identical replacement parts. Replace or repair damaged
cords immediately.
14. Polarized plug – Polarized appliance connections reduce
the risk of electric shock. This dethatcher has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require
the use of a polarized extension cord. There is only one
way the dethatcher's plug will t into a polarized extension
cord. If the plug does not t fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain a
correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. There
is only one way the plug will t into a polarized wall
outlet. If the plug does not t fully into the wall outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
modify the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle or
extension cord plug in any way.

Some examples of these chemicals are:
a) chemicals in fertilizers
b) compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides
c) arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specically
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
mWARNING! The wires of this product could contain
chemicals know to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
dethatcher. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW,
SJTW or SJTOW.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. For lengths less than 50 feet, a No. 14 AWG
extension cord should be used. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized, UL-listed (CSA
certied in Canada) extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. The appliance plug will t into a polarized
extension cord only one way.
If the appliance plug does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The
extension cord plug will t into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle or extension cord plug in any way.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the

Working with the unit
Dethatching your lawn is an intensive intervention and
should only be carried out once a year. For cool-season
grasses, the best time to dethatch is late summer or early fall.
For warm-season grasses, dethatch in late spring or after the
second mowing. Before dethatching, mow a little shorter
than normal.
mWARNING! When working on slopes, always proceed
across the slope. Be particularly careful to avoid stumbling
when walking backwards with the dethatcher and pulling the
machine towards you.
• Using the tine adjustment knob, select the appropriate
working or readjustment position (in the event of cylinder
wear) so that the unit is not overloaded.
• Commence work in the vicinity of the electrical outlet and
proceed away from the outlet.
• Always make sure that the extension cord follows behind
you. When turning, move the extension cord to the side
that has already been treated.
• Guide the unit at a walking pace down lanes that are as
straight as possible. To ensure uninterrupted dethatching,
the individual lanes should always overlap by a few
centimeters. Dwelling too long at the same place while the
tool is running can damage the grass sward.
8
• To ensure that the extension cord is not an impediment,
turn the unit in such a manner so that the cable relief
holder on the bar always faces the side that has been
treated.
mWARNING!When your dethatching session is
complete, disconnect the power supply and wait until the
cylinder has come to a complete stop before transporting the
unit.
• Set the tine adjustment knob to the transport position
(setting 0) when transporting the unit (see "Setting the
working positions" on page 7).
