■ In certain situations, the user may no longer
be able to concentrate on their work. This may
result in the user stumbling, falling and becom‐
ing seriously injured.
► Work calmly and carefully.
► If the light and visibility conditions are poor:
do not use the lawn scarifier.
► Operate the lawn scarifier alone.
► Watch out for obstacles.
► Do not tilt the lawn scarifier.
► Work standing on the ground and maintain
balance.
► If signs of fatigue occur: take a break.
► If scarifying or combing on a slope: scarify
or comb across the slope.
► Do not scarify or comb on slopes with an
inclination greater than 25° (46.6%).

pull out the activation key, remove the bat‐
tery and consult a STIHL specialist dealer.
■ The lawn scarifier may cause vibrations when
working.
► Wear gloves.
► Take breaks.
► If signs of a circulatory disturbance occur:
consult a doctor.
■ If the roller hits a foreign object when working,
the roller or parts of it may be thrown up at
high velocity. This may result in injury to peo‐
ple and damage to property.
► Remove foreign objects from the work area.
► Mark and bypass obstacles (e.g. roots, tree
trunks).
■ When the control bar is released, the roller
continues to turn for a short time. This may
result in serious injury to people.
► Wait until the roller is no longer turning.
■ Sparks can be produced if the turning roller
hits a hard object. Sparks may cause fires in
highly flammable environments. This may
result in serious or fatal injury to people and
damage to property.

ment.
■ If the lawn scarifier is stopped on a sloping
surface, it may unintentionally roll away. This
may result in injury to people and damage to
property.
► Only let go of the lawn scarifier if it is on a
level surface and cannot roll away by itself.
■ If objects are attached to the handlebar, the
additional weight may cause the lawn scarifier
to tip over. This may result in injury to people
and damage to property.
► Do not attach objects to the handlebar.
DANGER
■ If working near live wires, the roller may come
into contact with live wires and damage them.
This may result in serious or fatal injury to the
user.
