How to use

Before operation, check that the scarifier is connected to a suitable 230 V power supply and inspect the rotor and working area for debris. Select the required working depth according to the condition of the lawn—shallower for light thatch removal, deeper for compacted moss. Move the scarifier at an even pace over the lawn, allowing the tines to penetrate and lift unwanted material. After a pass, collect the removed debris and, if necessary, perform a second pass at a different depth or direction to ensure even treatment. Switch off and disconnect the appliance before cleaning or making adjustments.

Recommendations

Use the scarifier during dry conditions for best debris removal and follow with raking and overseeding if the lawn requires renovation. Regular, moderate scarifying—rather than aggressive deep work—helps maintain healthy turf. Store the machine in a dry place and inspect tines periodically for wear.
