General Safety WARNINGS!

When using this electric dethatcher, basic safety precautions 

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric 

shock and personal injury. 
Before using the dethatcher, take the time to familiarize 

yourself with the controls, especially how to stop the 

dethatcher in an emergency. The only individuals who 

should use the dethatcher are those who have a thorough 

understanding of the instructions and who know how to 

operate the machine. Children should never be allowed  

access to the dethatcher.
Retain this manual for future reference and reread it at the start 

of each dethatching session.

General Safety

1.  Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use this machine 

in rainy, stormy, damp or wet locations. Do not operate the 

unit in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these 

units normally spark, and the sparks may ignite fumes.

2.  Keep children, bystanders and pets away – Always 

keep children and spectators a safe distance away from 

the dethatcher during operation and as the machine cools.

3.  Dress properly – Always wear personal safety gear (i.e. 

glasses, rubber gloves, protective footwear and dust 

masks) and proper clothing when using the dethatcher. 

Loose clothing, long hair or jewelry may get caught in the 

moving parts.

4.  Use the right appliance – This dethatcher is intended 

for outdoor use only. Do not use the dethatcher for any 

application other than that for which it is intended.

5.  Do not force the dethatcher – It will perform better with 

less likelihood of personal or mechanical injury if it is used 

at the rate for which it is designed.

6.  Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times. 

7.  Stay alert – Always be alert and watch what you are 

doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the dethatcher 

when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or 

drugs.

8.  Disconnect the dethatcher – Disconnect the dethatcher 

from the power supply when it is not in use, before 

servicing it, when changing accessories and when 

performing any other maintenance task.

9.  Store idle dethatcher indoors – When not in use, the 

dethatcher should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place 

out of the reach of children.

10. Maintain the dethatcher with care – Keep cutting edges 

sharp and clean for optimal and safest performance.

Inspect the dethatcher cord periodically and if damage 

is found have it repaired by an authorized service facility. 

Extension cords should also be inspected periodically and 

immediately replaced if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean 

and free from oil and grease.

11. Double insulation – This dethatcher is equipped with 

double insulation. This means that all external metal parts 

are insulated from the electrical supply. This is achieved 

by introducing an insulation layer between electrical and 

mechanical parts. The double insulation guarantees you 

the greatest possible safety.

12. Replacement parts – When servicing this unit, use only 

identical replacement parts. Replace or repair damaged 

cords immediately.

13. Polarized plug – Polarized appliance connections reduce 

the risk of electric shock. This dethatcher has a polarized 

plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require 

the use of a polarized extension cord. There is only one 

way the dethatcher's plug will fit into a polarized extension 

cord. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, 

reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a 

correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension 

cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. There 

is only one way the plug will fit into a polarized wall 

outlet. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, 

reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a 

qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not 

modify the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle or 

extension cord plug in any way.
