tools, keeping hands warm,
periodical breaks and
proper planning of work
processes.
Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean
and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power
tools in explosive
atmospheres, such
ass in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining your machine
modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric

b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power

unplugging the power
tool.
Keep cord away from
heat, oil , sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangle d
cords increase thee risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power
tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) The use of a residual
current device (RCD)
when using this tool is
recommended.
Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

with blades,you can adjust the working
depth by depth adjustment lever accordingly.
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.

4. Raking work
Raking work is run with raking cylinder
with fine needles,you can adjust the
working depth by depth adjustment lever
accordingly. 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 aerate the lawn every 4 - 6
weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
NOTE:Overload protection
The overload protection will be activated
the following circumstances:
1). A build up of scaried material around
cutting device.
2). If the material scaried is larger then
motor capacity.
