Functional description

The verticuttor and lawn aerator has two

easily exchangeable work cylinders:

An aerator cylinder made of hard plastic

with vertically rotating sprung tines, and a

verticutor cylinder with vertically mounted

high-grade steel knives.

The implement features a high-quality

plastic case with collection bag and a handle

bar with a folding function. Please refer to

the subsequent descriptions for the actual

functions of the individual control elements.

The noise and vibration values were

established by the standards and stipulations

listed in the Conformity Declaration.

Technical and visual changes can be

completed in the course of further develop-

dimensions, references and details in these

Operating Instructions are without

guarantee. Consequently legal claims based

on these Operating Instructions cannot be

asserted.

The stated vibration emission value was

measured in accordance with a standard

testing procedure and may be used to

compare one power tool to another.

The stated vibration emission value may

also be used for a preliminary exposure

assessment.

Warning: The vibration emission

value may differ during actual use

of the power tool from the stated

value depending on the manner in

which the power tool is used.

Safety precautions aimed at

protecting the user should be based

on estimated exposure under actual

usage conditions (all parts of the

operating cycle are to be considered,

including, for example, times during

which the power tool is turned off

and times when the tool is turned on

but is running idle).

only to the extent that is

absolutely necessary and

always lift the implement

• Switch off the power

when the implement is to

• Only use approved

extension cables of the

maximum length of 75 m

and which have been

approved for open-air

use. The stranded cord

diameter of the extension

cable must be at least 2.5

The readjusting depth amounts to approx.

3 mm per setting.

The implement is delivered with

the height set to the Transport

Position (0).

1. The implement must be switched off to

set the working position.

2. Pull the adjustment wheel for adjustment

(see

A

9) and turn

it to the desired

position until it clicks into place.

Both wheels (right and left) must be in-

dividually set to the same position.

The adjustment wheel is not intended

for height adjustment but rather to

compensate for wear. Selection of

a readjustment position without the

corresponding wear can overload

the motor and damage the cylinder.

Switching on and off

Before switching on the implement

ensure that it is not

in contact with any objects.

Keep your feet and hands

well away from the cylinder

and the ejector opening. Danger

of injury!

1. Place the implement on a level

lawn surface.

2. Connect the power cable (17)

with the extension cable.

3. Form a loop in the end of the

power cable and hang it into the

4. Connect the implement to the

mains voltage.

5. To switch on, press the unlocking

button (1) on the handle and

simultaneously press the starting

lever (2). Release the unlocking

button (1).

6. To switch off, release the starting

Overload protection: The motor

is automatically switched off

Release the starting lever and allow

the implement a cooling down period

of approx. 1 minute to reset.

Operation

Please observe local regulations

The shorter the grass, the better the

lawn can be treated. Furthermore,

the implement is less stressed and

the service life of the cylinder is pro-

longed.

• The implement can be operated with or

without the collection bag.

Recommendation: Work with the collec-

tion bag for aerating and without the

collection bag for verticuting.

• Mow the lawn to the required grass

height.

•

may otherwise wind around the scari-

equipment.

• Select the appropriate working or

readjustment position (in the event of

cylinder wear) so that the implement is

not overloaded.

• Commence work in the vicinity of the

power socket and proceed away from

the socket.

• Always ensure that the extension cable

is behind you, and after turning move

it to the side that has already been

treated.

• Guide the implement at a walking

pace down lanes that are as straight as

possible. To ensure uninterrupted

aerating or verticuting the individual

lanes should always overlap by a few

centimetres. Dwelling too long at the

same place while the implement is

running can damage the grass sward.

• To ensure that the extension cable is not

an impediment, turn the implement in

such a manner that the cable strain

relief on the bar always faces the side

that has been treated.

• Adjust the transport position 0 setting

(see “Setting the Working Position”)

when transporting the implement.

• Lift the implement to transport it over

steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).

• Always clean the implement after each

use (see “Cleaning/Maintenance”).

• After having treated lawns with dense

moss growth, it is advisable to reseed

the lawn so that it can regenerate itself

quicker.

WARNING! The cylinder continues

to run for a brief period

after the implement has

been switched off. Do not tilt

or carry the implement while

the motor is still running and

do not touch the cylinder

while it is still rotating. Danger

of injury!

Working with the implement

To maintain a well cared-for lawn it should

be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks.

Verticuting is a more intensive intervention

than aerating and should only be carried

out once a year, the best time being in

spring after the lawn has been mown for

When working on slopes

always proceed across the

slope. Be particularly careful

when walking backwards

and pulling the implement.

Danger of stumbling!

After work and to transport the im-

plement disconnect the power plug

and wait until the cylinder is stand-

ing still.
