HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
HOW TO USE YOUR SCARIFIER (using-blade-system-3)
•- By-scarifying-you-remove-the-hardened-surface,-grass-
felt-and-flat-growing-weeds-and-the-crusted-over-grass-
roots- are- loosened- up.- The- lawn- will- start- to- breath-
again-and-assimilate-the-nourishing-substances,-oxy-
gen-and-water.-This-also-prevents-the-establishing-of-
bacteria-in-the-lawn-felt-during-the-wintertime.
•- Cut-the-grass-to-a-height-of-about-40-mm-before-scari-
fying.-The-lawn-must-be-dry-when-using-the-machine.-
The-best-time-for-an-scarifying-is-any-time-during-the-
vegetative-season,-from-end-April-through-to-Septem-
ber.-Scarify-it-at-least-once-a-year.-We-recommend-us-
ing-a-fertilizer-straight-after-airing-if-you-want-a-green-
carpet.
HOW TO USE YOUR RAKER-(using-blade-system-17)--
•- By- raking- you- remove- the- dead- matter,- moss- and-
weed- which- disfigures- a- lawn.- The- build- up- of- dead-
grass- provides- a- mat- of- absorbent- fibres- which- pre-
vents-water-getting-through-to-the-ground.
•- Do- not- force- your- rake- through- grass- that- is- longer-
than-75mm.-The-lawn-must-be-dry-when-using-the-ma-
chine.- It's- recommend- that- your- raker- is- used- at- the-
beginning- and- the- end- of- each- grass- cutting- season-
to-give-your-lawn-a-thorough-raking.-Your-raker-should-
also-be-used-after-each-mowing-to-remove-any-grass-
cutting-that-may-be-left-by-your-mower.
SWITCHING ON/OFF-(Fig.-6)-
•- This-Machine-is-provided-with-an-electric-safety-switch-
against-accidental-starts.-Push-the-safety-lock-off-but-
ton-(5)-on-the-switchbox,-then-pull-the-switch-lever-(6)-
towards-the-handle-(Fig.-6.1).
•- The- top- handle- is- equipped- with- a- hooked- ring- (15)-
which- holds- the- extension- cable.- Hook- the- cable- to-
protect- socket- and- plug- from- accidental- tears- (Fig.-
6.2).
GENERAL OPERATION-(Fig.-7)-
We- recommend- the- directional- method- of- operation- to-
obtain-the-maximum-cutting-performance-from-your-unit-
and- to- reduce- the- risk- of- the- trailing- the- extension- lead-
from-entering-the-cutting-path.
•- Place-the-bulk-of-the-supply-cable-on-the-lawn-close-to-
the-starting-point-(position-1,-Fig.-7.1).
•- Hold-the-handle-assembly-with-both-hands.
WARNING: Do-not-attempt-to-operate-your-Machine-with-
one- hand- -- you- must- guide- it- with- both- hands.- Do- not-
operate-your-machine-on-sanded,-concrete-or-woodened-
ground.
•- Tilt-the-handle-downwards-to-slightly-raise-the-front-of-
your-unit-and-to-reduce-the-risk-of-lawn-damage-while-
starting,-depress-the-safety-lock-off-button-(5)-on-the-
switchbox-and-while-still-depressed-pull-the-switch-le-
ver- (6)- towards- you.-Your- machine- will- start- and- you-
can-now-allow-the-lock-off-button-to-be-released-and-
lower-your-Machine-to-its-proper-cutting-position,-and-
commence-cutting.
•- Proceed-down-the-cutting-area-as-shown-in-Fig.-7.1,-
working- from- position- 1- towards- position- 2- and,- on-
reaching- position- 2,- turn- to- the- right- and- proceed- to-
wards- position- 3.- Continue- to- the- end- of- the- cutting-
area,-turn-to-the-left-and-proceed-towards-position-4.-
Continue- in- the- same- manner- as- shown- in- Fig.- 7.1,-
always-working-away-from-the-cable.-Do-not-adopt-the-
method-as-shown-in-Fig.-7.2,-working-towards-the-ca-
ble,-as-this-is-dangerous-practice.
SETTING THE WORKING DEPTH
The-working-depth-is-adjustable-to-4-heights-referring-to-
below-table.-Pull-adjustment-arm-(1)-away-from-one-posi-
tion-and-move-to-catch-in-desired-position.

It's recommended that your machine positions are as
follows:
•- Highest-setting.-This-setting-should-be-used-when-you-
wish-to-give-the-lawn-a-particularly-vigorous-raking-or-
scarifying.
- - On-this-setting,-your-machine-as-a-raker-will-remove-
all- the- debris- and- thatch- that- has- collected- at- the-
base- of- your- grass.- It- will- also- remove- moss- and-
weeds-on-this-setting.
