•
The laying of cables must not be manipulated, e.g. by removing cable clamps or
attaching additional cable ties! The cables must lie against the outside of the bar in
such a way that they are neither crushed nor overstretched when the bar is folded.
A damaged cable may result in a technical defect of the device.
Preparatory measures
•
When scarifying you must always wear a strong, closed, non-slip pair of shoes or
safety shoes and long trousers. Avoid wearing loose clothing or clothing with cords
or belts hanging down. Do not scarify whilst you are barefooted or wearing
sandals. Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes.
•
Loud noises can lead to hearing impairments. Wear ear protection.
Before and during scarifying, check the whole area the device is being
used on and remove all stones, sticks, wires, toys and other objects which
can be caught and catapulted out.
Before and during the scarifying process, check the area for live wires and
remove them, if possible.
Never drive over live wires when the cutting tool is switched on. Risk of
electric shock!
If a live wire is damaged, switch off the device and disconnect the wire
from the supply grid.
•
If you also use a mowing robot for lawn care, the following safety information
must be heeded with regard to the working area of the mowing robot:
– Before scarifying on these areas, always check the range of the
boundary wire.
– If the wires are laid in the ground, they must be checked. No wires may
be visible, particular attention is advised at the charging station.
– If the boundary wires are laid above ground, they should be routed tight
directly on the ground and not lie loose in the grass. The wires must be
sufficiently fixed using boundary staples, see the operating manual.
– The boundary staples must not project, if this is the case, push them
firmly in place.
– Remove any residual wires before scarifying.
In the cases described above, there is a risk of the wire being pulled in and wound
up by the tool; this can lead to serious injury.
•
Low-hanging branches and similar obstacles can injure the operator or
interfere with the scarifying operation. Before scarifying, identify potential obstacles
such
as low-hanging branches, and trim back or remove those obstacles.
WARNING
– Petrol is highly inflammable and explosive.
Fire and explosions can cause severe injury and material damage.
– Only store petrol in a suitable container, and out of reach of children.
– Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with
a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before filling up with fuel.
– Only fill the tank in the open and when the engine is cold.
No smoking and no naked flames while filling the tank.
– Fuel-operated devices, which are positioned on a load floor or
a trailer, must not be refuelled from a filling pump. Instead,
these must be refuelled by a fuel container.
– The petrol must be filled into the tank before starting the engine.
– Whilst the engine is running or if the machine is hot, the petrol tank
cap must not be opened, nor may the tank be filled with more petrol.
– If petrol has overflowed, you must not attempt to start the engine.
Instead, remove the device from the area contaminated with petrol,
and wipe the overflowed fuel off the engine. Avoid any attempt to
start the engine until the petrol fumes have evaporated.
– For safety reasons, the petrol tank and the petrol container must
be closed again carefully.
– If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank and tank cap must
be replaced.
•
Before using the scarifier and to avoid danger, check the machine for firm
seating of screw fittings, correct assembly and the condition of the cutter shaft.
Worn or damaged blades and attachment screws must be replaced.
•
The condition of the pictograms must be checked every time the device is
used. Worn or damaged pictograms must be replaced.
Handling
•
The device must not be operated in potentially explosive surroundings.
•
The internal combustion engine must never be used in enclosed rooms in
which dangerous exhaust fumes can build up. Danger of poisoning.
•
People with pacemakers must not touch any parts of the engine which
might be live whilst the engine is running.
•
Caution! Do not operate the device in front of the extraction openings of air
conditioning systems.
•
Do not scarify in bad weather when lightning could strike.
•
Never remove the plug connector when the engine is running. Risk
of electric shock!
•
Only remove the plug connector once the engine has cooled down. Risk of burns!
•
Do not wear radio or music headphones. Safe service and operation requires your
full attention.
•
Only use the scarifier during daylight or if the lighting is good. Always push
the machine at walking pace.
•
Take care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other
obstacles that may obscure vision.
•
Do not move too closely to holes, trenches and banks. The equipment can
suddenly topple over when a wheel suddenly gives way over the edge of a trench
or a bank or when an edge suddenly yields.
•
Do not operate the equipment when you are sick, tired or under the influence of
alcohol, medicine or drugs.
•
Avoid using the device on wet grass, if possible. Otherwise there may
be a risk of slipping.
•
Always make sure that you have a firm stance whilst using the scarifier on
slopes. Always work at right angles to the slope, never straight up or down. Please
be especially careful when you change direction when using the scarifier on a
slope.
•
Do not scarify excessively steep slopes! Scarifying slopes always means additional
risks. Your scarifier is powerful enough to scarify on slopes with a gradient of up to
46% (25° angle). For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you do not
exploit this theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm
stance. Manually guided scarifiers should never be used for slopes with a gradient
in excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost.
•
Please be especially careful when turning the device or pulling it towards
yourself.
•
If you walk backwards whilst using the machine, you can easily stumble.
Avoid walking backwards. Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you have a
firm stance and keep your balance at all times.
•
Always observe the safety distance to the machine which is maintained by
the guide bar.
•
In order to avoid the device slipping when being carried, always hold the machine
by the grip devices provided (housing, cross bar of the lower guide bar section).
•
Note the weight of the machine before lifting or carrying it (see
“Technical data”
).
Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
•
Never lift or carry the machine when the engine is running.
•
Never use the machine with damaged or missing safety and protective devices.
Missing or damaged safety and protective devices are a safety hazard for both you
and other people.
The safety devices include
(see chapter
“Description of components”):
– Engine stop safety control bar (1)
The scarifier is fitted with an engine stop device.
During operation and in the event of a hazard, the engine is switched
off by releasing the engine stop bar.
The engine and the cutting tool must come to a standstill
(Caution! The cutting tool runs for a while!). If this is not the case,
please consult your nearest authorised workshop.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in
the “Description of components” diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an
authorised workshop.
The function of the safety control bar must never be put out
of operation.
It is important to make sure that the safety control bar functions
correctly. If this is not the case, have it repaired by an authorised
specialist workshop.
