as possible. However, it is not possible to completely eliminate these hazards. Additionally,
people in the vicinity of the operating tool are also exposed to noise hazards.
However, the risks associated with the above-mentioned hazards can be reduced by observ-
ing the following guidelines:
- the product should be used in accordance with its intended use, described in the instruc-
tions manual;
- make sure that the tool is in good condition and is regularly maintained;
- use proper and well-sharpened cutting tools;
- use a fi rm grip on the product handle;
- plan work so that frequent breaks can be incorporated.
Residual risks
Even if all safety precautions are followed during operation, the potential risk of injury re-
mains. The following risks remain in relation to the design of the product.
Vibration-related injuries caused by prolonged operation of the tool, incorrect manner of
work, or work with an improperly maintained tool.
Injuries caused by an unexpected impact from hidden, ejected objects.
PRODUCT OPERATION
Preparing for operation
Unpack the product by removing all packaging components. It is recommended to retain the packaging, which can be of use when
transporting or storing the product.
Check that no part of the product has been damaged during transport. In case of damage detection, such as cracks or deforma-
tions, it will disqualify the product from further use until it is repaired or damaged components are replaced.
It is recommended to place all the components on a fl at, hard, and clean surface.
Use personal protective equipment such as protective gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing during assembly.
Caution! Before performing the product assembly, make sure that it is disconnected from the power supply. The device
power cord plug must be disconnected from the mains socket.
When fi rst assembling the product, it is recommended to start by assembling the correct roller with the scarifying blades or with
the cleaning hooks. It will be easier to manoeuvre the device without the handlebar installed.
Caution! Due to the sharp edges of the rollers, there is a risk of injury. Take special care. Wear protective gloves for
assembly.
If one of the rollers is already installed in the device, loosen the bolts of the clamp, open the clamp, dismantle the roller and close
the clamp. Secure the closed clamp by tightening the fi xing bolts (II). The roller is not symmetrical and on one side has a protruding
element with a square cross-section; the protruding element should go to the drive socket of the same shape.
Place the device on the wheels and proceed to the installation of the handlebar. Slide the shorter end of the bent handlebar
brackets into the holes on both sides of the verticutter housing and secure it with screws (III). Fix the straight handlebar brackets
to the longer ends using bolts and knobs. Next, install the handlebar using bolts and knobs (IV). Before installing the handlebar,
place a holder on it for holding the power cord.
Remove both bolts of the power switch clamp (V), then install the power switch on the handlebar so that the pins inside the clamp
match the holes in the handlebar and the power switch is mounted inside the handlebar (VI). Fix the power switch by tightening
both clamp bolts (VII). Fasten the cable connecting the power switch to the verticutter housing to the handlebar bracket using the
fl exible clamp (VIII).
Install the external cover (IX) onto the catcher frame. Lift and hold the cover at the back of the housing in the upper position and
insert the frame rods into the openings in the housing (X). Lower the cover so that it covers the hole in the catcher (XI).
When assembled in this manner, the product is ready for use.
