Operation

Intended Use

•

This cordless 2-in-1 Scarifier is designed to be used only with the battery pack bought from the

supplier/manufacturer.

•

Depending on the fitted attachment, this machine is either intended for scarifying and removing thatch from

lawns or for raking in domestic and hobby gardens.

•

When used as a scarifier with the scarifier drum installed, the machine works by scratching through and

between the grass with specially adapted prongs that collect and remove any unwanted parts from the lawn

while leaving the grass stalk intact. At the same time, the machine scarifies the ground, resulting in better

aeration.

•

When used as a raker with the raker drum installed, the fine needles scratch the surface of the lawn while

simultaneously picking up light debris for better oxygen absorption, aeration, and drainage.

•

This machine is not to be used in wet weather conditions and is not intended for mowing grass or shredding

leaves.

•

For safety reasons, it is essential to read the entire instruction manual before first operation and to follow all

the instructions provided.

•

This machine is intended for private domestic use only and is not suitable for commercial trade use. It must

not be used for any purposes other than those described.

NOTE: Thatch is a build-up of organic materials, including dead grass, leaves, stems, rhizomes,

overcrowded grass roots, and lateral weed growth. It stifles the growth and health of the lawn. Removing

thatch encourages the lawn to thicken, making it stronger and less susceptible to disease. Reducing the

thatch level increases the amount of water, air, and nutrients that can reach the root zone of the grass

plants.

Walking with Your Unit

WARNING: Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the unit. Carefully read the safety

instructions in this manual before using the unit.

WARNING: Never open the ejector flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the

engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!

1. Select your required setting.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run and set it to the required speed.

3. Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with engine stop/start lever and drive lever (clutch lever) dosed and

walk along with its self-propelling to start mowing/scarifying.

370SX Lawn Aerator and Scarifier (Skin)

E&OE © Baumr-AG 21

When Mowing/Scarifying:

•

Walk. never run with the unit. Be very careful when mowing/scarifying uneven or rough ground.

•

Mow across slopes. never up and down.

•

Be careful when changing the direction of the unit on a slope.

•

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Note: Grass clippings can clog underneath the unit deck, preventing the blades from turning. This

can overheat the engine, causing excessive wear to engine components, reducing the unit's overall

lifespan or catastrophic failure of engine bearings and pistons.

Clogging occurs if you mow wet, long, or lush grass. For the best result, mow when the grass is dry

and use a whipper snipper to reduce the height of grass longer than 15cm (6”) before mowing on the

highest cutting setting.

•

Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the first

cut of the season or in drought conditions.

•

Only about one third of the grass height should be cut.

•

When mowing with the mulching function, do not cut high or wet grass to ensure that the cut grass can be

scattered efficiently. When you have been cutting for several minutes, please stop the unit, and clean the

blade and the deck.

•

Do not remove grass debris in the unit casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead, use suitable

tools such as a brush or broom.

thoroughly inspect it for damage! Have any damage repaired before restarting! Excessive vibration of

the product during operation is an indication of damage! The product should be promptly inspected and

repaired!

Raking

For a healthy lawn to develop in the spring, it is important for greater amounts of air to penetrate the root area of

the grass. We recommend aerating the lawn every 4-6 weeks, depending on its condition. Follow the same

procedure for raking as described in Scarifying

, but with the raker drum (25) installed.

After Use

1. Switch the product off, disconnect the safety key (19a), remove the battery pack (27), and allow it to cool

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the

battery must be charged on the initial charge and for each subsequent charge.

2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully

charge the battery before storing.

3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit

when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again.

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat, for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating, or fire may result.
