PLUGS & CABLES
Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST
identify electrical isolation methods and isolate all elec-
trical supplies.
Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you
MUST check all electrical cables, plugs and connectors
for the following -
Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but
not limited to bare wires, chang, cuts and loose wiring.
If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item
MUST be taken out of service until the damage has been
repaired by an electrically competent person.
All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any
kind of trip hazard.
NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet
clothing and wet gloves.
Power tools plug must match the outlet. Never 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 shock.
DO NOT expose this power tool to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the electric circuit is fused,
and that the power, voltage and frequency of the motor
is supported by your mains supply. Also, make sure that
your power supply is earthed. Connect your machine to
earth.
Never open the ON/OFF switch-box. However, if it should
become necessary to do so, contact a qualied electri-
cian. Make sure that you will never touch live contacts,
specically when you plug or unplug your machine. This
machine and its power cord must never get into contact
with water.
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.
To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. For additional protection,
the installation of a residual current device (RCD) having
a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA
is advisable.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good con-
dition. When using an extension cord, make sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
DO NOT allow any part of the machine to make con-
tact with water while it is in operation. If the appliance
becomes wet while turned o, wipe dry before starting.
DO NOT touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots oers
some protection.
Before use, check the supply and extension cord for
signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes damaged
during use, disconnect the cord from the supply immedi-
ately. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or a qualied p erson i n order to
avoid a hazard.

not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw
foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent
eye damage. Always wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Every day
glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering the power tools will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool/machine. Do not use

Raking Tool
Scarifying Tool
RAKING TOOL is used for loosening the soil, light
weeding and levelling, removing dead grass from lawns.
SPRING - RAKING & LIGHT SCARIFYING
Light de-thatching or scarifying and moss removal can be
done in spring and or autumn. Spring generally means
April, just as things warm up thereby increasing the
growth and recovery rate but before the heat and dryness
of summer slows things down. Autumn is generally late
August or September as the rains start but before the
cold sets in.
AUTUMN - HEAVY SCARIFYING
For heavy thatch or moss infestations requiring deeper
scarifying or raking then try to stick to the autumn period.
Why?
Heavy raking or scarifying is going to thin the lawn
leaving soil exposed in many places. This makes an ideal
seed bed not only for over seeding with new and
improved grass seed but also for all the weed and weed
grass seeds floating around. By confining this intensive
treatment to August or September you will avoid the bulk
of the years weed seeds. If you do this in spring you’ll
just replace moss or thatch with weeds. There are a few
exceptions when spring is the best time:
� It is better to rake or scarify in spring if you were unable
to do it the previous autumn perhaps due to bad weather
rather than put it off.
�
If the area to be scarified is shady. Shady areas will thin
over winter and thicken up from spring onwards.
Therefore if you scarify in autumn you’ll just make things
worse.
� If the area is under trees. The shade from trees plus the
autumn fall of leaves will reduce grass health and vigour
but in spring – late March through April - the trees are
bare allowing maximum light to your lawn enabling good
growth and maximum opportunity for new grass seed to
get growing.
READY THE LAWN FOR SCARIFYING OR RAKING
Planning ahead is important. You need short dry grass
for raking or scarifying so bring the grass height down
gradually over a week or two before hand. This doesn’t
shock the grass whilst also allowing air deeper into the
turf helping dry the grass.
If you have any weeds in your lawn then you can
manually remove them but do not use any weed killer.
Scarifying within a few weeks of weed killer application
disrupts the weed killing process and in addition may
cause seed germination issues if you are going to over
seed after scarifying. Scarifying can help control some
creeping weeds though.
The final part of preparation is to have good soil
moisture so that the lawn recovers as quickly as
possible afterwards. If there is too much (soft ground) or
too little (dry hard soil) you need to either wait until the
conditions improve, assist them to improve or not rake
or scarify at all.
Lawnmow it as close as possible without scalping. Long
grass just creates resistance to the scarifier with
ultimately more rubbish to collect. Dry grass and moss
makes life a lot easier as well. Plan to rake on a dry day
with no dew around. The afternoons are often best. If
the weather is not suitable i.e wet, keep the grass short
until you get another raking opportunity.
We recommend beginning your scarifying process on
height setting ‘1’ and progressing lower as you progress
through the raking and scarification process.
GENERAL OPERATION Select the suitable cutting
depth for the actual grass height.
Do not work with this product on a wet lawn because it
tends to stick to the under-body of the product,
preventing the proper discharge of collected material,
and it could also cause you to slip and fall.
Slowly push the product forward. Move the product at
an appropriate speed.
Do not move too fast to prevent the discharge opening
from getting blocked and the motor from overloading.
Work in slight overlapping rows. The most effective
pattern for scarifying/raking lawns is straight lines along
one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and
ensures that all the lawn is scarified/raked without
missing any spots.
Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed
in the middle of the lawn, make a row or two around the
circumference of the bed.
Pay special attention when changing direction.

MAINTENANCE | ENTRETIEN | INSTANDHALTUNG | MANTENIMIENTO | MANUTENZIONE
DO NOT store the machine near an ignition source,
such as a wood stove, gas or electric heater, or an
appliance or heater with a pilot light.
DO NOT stack other items on top of the machine
when in storage.
Remove any grass and mud after each use to prevent it
from drying. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt and grease.
DO NOT use any water on any part of the main
machine. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Always ensure that ventilation
openings are kept clear of debris
.
Taking the
drum out will make it easier to clean. Strands
of material can become tangled on the cylinder.
Allow the machine to cool down before storing.
Make sure the machine is clean and dry before storing.
Make sure the machine is stored away from direct
sunlight.
Store indoors or in a safe, locked protected area during
severe weather and winter months.
Ensure the machine is stored in a position, where any
persons cannot step on to attempt to reach items up
high, due to risk of movement.
Store the machine out of reach of children or anyone
who is not familiar with operation.
Press on both buttons to remove the drum. Press the
drum into place to secure.
Keep the machine stored in a dry, level area away from
damp, moisture and rain fall.
